abstract

In this paper, we develop an exotic fractonic superfluid phase in $d$-dimensional space where subdimensional particles -- their mobility is \emph{partially} restricted -- are condensed. The off-diagonal long range order (ODLRO) is investigated. To demonstrate, we consider "lineons" -- a subdimensional particle whose mobility is free only in certain one-dimensional directions. We start with a $d$-component microscopic Hamiltonian model. The model respects a higher-rank symmetry such that both particle numbers of each component and angular charge moments are conserved quantities. By performing the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation, we derive a set of Gross-Pitaevskii equations and a Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian, which leads to a unified description of gapless phonons and gapped rotons. With the coherent-path-integral representation, we also derive the long-wavelength effective field theory of gapless Goldstone modes and analyze quantum fluctuations around classical ground states. The Euler-Lagrange equations and Noether charges/currents are also studied. In two spatial dimensions and higher, such an ODLRO stays stable against quantum fluctuations. Finally, we study vortex configurations. The higher-rank symmetry enforces a hierarchy of point vortex excitations whose structure is dominated by two guiding statements. Specially, we construct two types of vortex excitations, the conventional and dipole vortices. The latter carries a charge with dimension as a momentum. The two statements can be more generally applicable. Several future directions are discussed.
