Fractons are a type of emergent quasiparticle which cannot move freely in isolation, but can easily move in bound pairs. Similar phenomenology is found in boson-affected hopping models, encountered in the study of polaron systems and hole-doped Ising antiferromagnets, in which motion of a particle requires the creation or absorption of bosonic excitations. We show that boson-affected hopping models can provide a natural realization of fractons, either approximately or exactly, depending on the details of the system. We first consider a generic one-dimensional boson-affected hopping model, in which we show that single particles move only at sixth order in perturbation theory, while motion of bound states occurs at second order, allowing for a broad parameter regime exhibiting approximate fracton phenomenology. We explicitly map the model onto a fracton Hamiltonian featuring conservation of dipole moment via integrating out the mediating bosons. We then consider a special type of boson-affected hopping models with mutual hard-core repulsion between particles and bosons, accessible in hole-doped mixed-dimensional Ising antiferromagnets, in which the hole motion is one dimensional in an otherwise two-dimensional antiferromagnetic background. We show that this system, which is within the current reach of ultracold-atom experiments, exhibits perfect fracton behavior to all orders in perturbation theory, thereby enabling the experimental study of dipole-conserving field theories. We further discuss diagnostic signatures of fractonic behavior in these systems. In studying these models, we also identify simple effective one-dimensional microscopic Hamiltonians featuring perfect fractonic behavior, paving the way to future studies on fracton physics in lower dimensions.

Motivated by the prediction of fractonic topological defects in a quantum crystal, we utilize a reformulated elasticity duality to derive a description of a fracton phase in terms of coupled vector U(1) gauge theories. The fracton order and restricte
d mobility emerge as a result of an unusual Gauss law where electric field lines of one gauge field act as sources of charge for others. At low energies this vector gauge theory reduces to the previously studied fractonic symmetric tensor gauge theory. We construct the corresponding lattice model and a number of generalizations, which realize fracton phases via a condensation of string-like excitations built out of charged particles, analogous to the p-string condensation mechanism of the gapped X-cube fracton phase.
Recent work has shown that two seemingly different physical mechanisms, namely fracton behavior and confinement, can give rise to non-ergodicity in one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. In this work, we demonstrate an intrinsic link between thes
e two mechanisms by studying the dynamics of one-dimensional confining theories, such as a U(1) gauge theory and a quantum Ising model. We show that, within certain parameter regimes, these models exhibit effective fracton dynamics, characterized by immobility of stable single-particle excitations and free motion of dipolar bound states. By perturbatively integrating out the linearly confining field, we obtain an effective fracton Hamiltonian for the confined charges which exhibits conservation of dipole moment. We discuss an intuitive understanding of these results in terms of the motion of the confining strings, leading to potential extensions to higher dimensions. We thereby interpret recent observations of nonthermal eigenstates and glassy dynamics in confining theories in terms of corresponding results in the fracton literature.
We offer a fractonic perspective on a familiar observation -- a flat sheet of paper can be folded only along a straight line if one wants to avoid the creation of additional creases or tears. Our core underlying technical result is the establishment
of a duality between the theory of elastic plates and a fractonic gauge theory with a second rank symmetric electric field tensor, a scalar magnetic field, a vector charge, and a symmetric tensor current. Bending moment and momentum of the plate are dual to the electric and magnetic fields, respectively. While the flexural waves correspond to the quadratically dispersing photon of the gauge theory, a fold defect is dual to its vector charge. Crucially, the fractonic condition constrains the latter to move only along its direction, i.e., the folds growth direction. By contrast, fracton motion in the perpendicular direction amounts to tearing the paper.
Recent theoretical research on tensor gauge theories led to the discovery of an exotic type of quasiparticles, dubbed fractons, that obey both charge and dipole conservation. Here we describe physical implementation of dipole conservation laws in rea
listic systems. We show that fractons find a natural realization in hole-doped antiferromagnets. There, individual holes are largely immobile, while dipolar hole pairs move with ease. First, we demonstrate a broad parametric regime of fracton behavior in hole-doped two-dimensional Ising antiferromagnets viable through five orders in perturbation theory. We then specialize to the case of holes confined to one dimension in an otherwise two-dimensional antiferromagnetic background, which can be realized via the application of external fields in experiments, and prove ideal fracton behavior. We explicitly map the model onto a fracton Hamiltonian featuring conservation of dipole moment. Manifestations of fractonicity in these systems include gravitational clustering of holes. We also discuss diagnostics of fracton behavior, which we argue is borne out in existing experimental results.
We study a two-dimensional electron gas exchanged-coupled to a system of classical magnetic ions. For large Rashba spin-orbit coupling a single electron can become self-trapped in a skyrmion spin texture self-induced in the magnetic ions system. This
new quasiparticle carries electrical and topological charge as well as a large spin, and we named it as magnetic skyrmionic polaron. We study the range of parameters; temperature, exchange coupling, Rashba coupling and magnetic field, for which the magnetic skyrmionic polaron is the fundamental state in the system. The dynamics of this quasiparticle is studied using the collective coordinate approximation, and we obtain that in presence of an electric field the new quasiparticle shows, because the chirality of the skyrmion, a Hall effect. Finally we argue that the magnetic skyrmionic polarons can be found in large Rashba spin-orbit coupling semiconductors as GeMnTe.
