abstract
We extend our exploration of nonstandard continuum quantum field theories in 2+1 dimensions to 3+1 dimensions. These theories exhibit exotic global symmetries, a peculiar spectrum of charged states, unusual gauge symmetries, and surprising dualities. Many of the systems we study have a known lattice construction. In particular, one of them is a known gapless fracton model. The novelty here is in their continuum field theory description. In this paper, we focus on models with a global $U(1)$ symmetry and in a followup paper we will study models with a global $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetry.

The Line, the Strip and the Duality Defect
The XY-plaquette model is claimed to possess a continuous SO(2) non-invertible duality symmetry at arbitrary coupling, realized by open condensation defects in its symmetry TFT.

Exotic massive fermionic systems with huge vacuum degeneracy at boundaries
Adding a mass term to the ψ theory leaves a gapped bulk but generates a boundary flat band of Majorana zero modes, yielding ground state entropy proportional to the boundary area.

Nonadditivity in Quantum Field Theory: Replica Energies, Scaling Filters, and the Renormalization Group
The replica-energy filter (1 − d^{-1} L ∂_L) on log Z isolates universal subextensive data in thermal QFT: central charges, sphere free energies, topological degeneracies, fracton degeneracies, and the Euler anomaly.
