The objective of the present work -- a literature review on both gapped and gapless fractonic theories -- is to pedagogically fill in the gaps between the research on fractons, and an undergraduate physics education (particularly quantum…
Non-perturbative constraints on many body physics--such as the famous Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem--are valuable tools for studying strongly correlated systems. To this end, we present a number of non-perturbative results that constrain the…
