When: May 27, 2020

1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Where: Virtually

Speaker: Dom Williamson - Stanford University

I will describe a construction of gapped 3D lattice models with non-Abelian fractons from gauging subsystem symmetries of topological layers. I will describe how this relates to previously constructed fracton models with nonabelian particles and explain how our construction fits into the recently developed picture of gapped fracton phases as topological defect networks.
