Phase Space Fractons
Perhaps the simplest approach to constructing models with subdimensional particles or fractons is to require the conservation of dipole or higher multipole moments. We generalize this approach to allow for moments in phase space and classify all possible classical fracton models with phase-space multipole conservation laws. We focus on a new self-dual model that conserves both dipole and quadrupole moments in position and momentum; we analyze its dynamics and find quasiperiodic orbits in phase space that evade ergodic exploration of the full phase space.
