Vortices in fracton type gauge theories
2020
Physics Letters B
We consider a vector gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions of the type recently proposed by Radzihovsky and Hermele [1] to describe fracton phases of matter. The theory has U (1) × U (1) vector gauge fields coupled to an additional vector field with a non conventional gauge symmetry. We added to the theory scalar matter in order to break the gauge symmetry. We analyze non trivial configurations by reducing the field equations to first order self dual (BPS) equations which we solved numerically. We
