I give a brief introduction to Luttinger liquids. Luttinger liquids are paramagnetic one-dimensional metals without Landau quasi-particle excitations. The elementary excitations are collective charge and spin modes, leading to charge-spin…
Interacting one-dimensional electron systems are generally referred to as "Luttinger liquids", after the effective low-energy theory in which spin and charge behave as separate degrees of freedom with independent energy scales. The…
Quantum many-body systems with fracton constraints are widely conjectured to exhibit unconventional low-energy phases of matter. In this work, we demonstrate the existence of a variety of such exotic quantum phases in the ground states of a…
