Abstract

We show that Hubbard models with nearest-neighbor hopping and a nearest-neighbor hardcore constraint exhibit `maximal' Hilbert space fragmentation in many lattices of arbitrary dimension dd. Focusing on the d=1d=1 rhombus chain and the d=2d=2 Lieb lattice, we demonstrate that the fragmentation is strong for all fillings in the thermodynamic limit, and explicitly construct all emergent integrals of motion, which include an extensive set of higher-form symmetries. Blockades consisting of frozen particles partition the system in real space, leading to anomalous dynamics. Our results are potentially relevant to optical lattices of dipolar and Rydberg-dressed atoms.
