The theory of symmetric tensor field: From fractons to gravitons and back

We consider the theory of a symmetric tensor field in 4D, invariant under a subclass of infinitesimal diffeomorphism transformations, where the vector diff parameter is the 4-divergence of a scalar parameter. The resulting gauge symmetry characterizes the “fracton” quasiparticles and identifies a th...
