Non-Abelian gauged fracton matter field theory: Sigma models, superfluids, and vortices

By gauging a higher-moment polynomial degree global symmetry and a discrete charge conjugation (i.e., particle-hole) symmetry coupled to matter fields (two symmetries mutually noncommutative), we derive a class of higher-rank tensor non-Abelian gauge field theory with dynamically gauged fractonic ma...
