Towards Classification of Fracton Phases: The Multipole Algebra

We present an effective field theory approach to the fracton phases. The approach is based on the notion of a multipole algebra. It is an extension of space(time) symmetries of a charge-conserving matter that includes global symmetries responsible for the conservation of various components of the mu...
