Perhaps the simplest approach to constructing models with sub-dimensional particles or fractons is to require the conservation of dipole or higher multipole moments. We generalize this approach to allow for moments in phase space and…

Classical U(1) fracton spin liquids feature an extensive ground state degeneracy and follow an effective description in terms of a tensor Gauss' law where charges, so-called fractons, have restricted mobility. Here we introduce a simple…

We review what is known about fracton phases of quantum matter. Fracton phases are characterized by excitations that exhibit restricted mobility, being either immobile under local Hamiltonian dynamics, or mobile only in certain directions.…

Fractonic superfluids are featured by the interplay of spontaneously broken charge symmetry and mobility constraints on single-particle kinematics due to the conservation of higher moments, such as dipoles, angular charge moments, and…

We study an atomic Fermi gas interacting through repulsive contact forces in a one dimensional harmonic trap. Bethe-Ansatz solutions lead to an inhomogeneous Tomonaga-Luttinger model for the low energy excitations. The equations of motion…

A system of one-dimensional electrons interacting via a short-range potential described by Hubbard model is considered in the regime of strong coupling using the Bethe ansatz approach. We study its momentum distribution function at zero…

Using exact Bethe ansatz solution, we rigorously study excitation spectra of the spin-1/2 Fermi gas (called Yang-Gaudin model) with an attractive interaction. Elementary excitations of this model involve particle-hole excitations, hole…
