The Joint Condensed Matter Seminar (JCMS) series is organised by KTH Royal Insitute of Technology, Nordita, and Stockholm University.
On Monday, September 30th, 2024 from 11 am to 12 am we will host a seminar by Aleksander Glodkowski from Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
Hydrodynamic theory of fracton fluids
The long-wavelength dynamics of generic many-body systems, such as fluids and gases, are described by the celebrated Navier-Stokes equations. In this talk, I will present the hydrodynamic theory for fracton fluids, which are many-body systems with microscopically constrained dynamics. Specifically, I will focus on homogeneous and isotropic systems that, in addition to a conserved U(1) monopole charge, also respect the conservation of the associated dipole moment. I will explore the implications of these constraints on macroscopic transport properties and describe two distinct low-energy phases arising from different symmetry-breaking patterns. Finally, I will discuss some potential applications to condensed matter systems.
