Strong planar subsystem symmetry-protected topological phases and their dual fracton orders
Trithep Devakul, Wilbur Shirley, Juven Wang
Abstract
The authors classify three dimensional planar subsystem symmetric phases as strong or weak based on whether or not they can be deformed into stacks of lower-dimensional phases. These are dual to models of fracton topological order, which has emerged an interesting class of phases hosting immobile quasiparticle excitations.
