Abstract:
In theories with conserved dipole moment, isolated charged particles (fractons) are immobile, but dipoles can move. We couple these dipoles to the fracton gauge theory and analyze the universal infrared structure. This uncovers an observable double kick memory effect which we relate to a novel dipole soft theorem. Together with their asymptotic symmetries this constitutes the first realization of an infrared triangle beyond Lorentz symmetry. This demonstrates the robustness of these IR structures and paves the way for their investigation in condensed matter systems and beyond.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
