abstract

We consistently couple simple continuum field theories with fracton excitations to curved spacetime backgrounds. We consider homogeneous and isotropic fracton field theories, with a conserved $U(1)$ charge and dipole moment. Coupling to background fields allows us to consistently define a stress-energy tensor for these theories and obtain the respective Ward identities. Along the way, we find evidence for a mixed gauge-gravitational anomaly in the symmetric tensor gauge theory which naturally couples to conserved dipoles. Our results generalise to systems with arbitrarily higher conserved moments, in particular, a conserved quadrupole moment.

    A conformal extension of the p-brane Aristotelian algebra is used to construct electric, magnetic, and electric-magnetic Aristotelian gravity actions and their matter couplings.

  4. Planons and their Carroll-Galilei symmetries

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A group-theoretic classification of planon dynamics shows that massless Galilei orbits describe planar-restricted particles, with dipoles arising from a mixed Carroll-Galilei symmetry.
