Abstract: We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics induced by a local perturbation in fracton field theory. For the ${\mathbb Z}_4$ and ${\mathbb Z}_8$-symmetric free fractonic theories, we compute the time dynamics of several observables such as the two-point Green function, $\langle \phi^2 \rangle$ condensate, energy density, and the dipole momentum. The time-dependent considerations highlight that the free fractonic theory breaks causality and exhibits instantaneous signal propagation, even if an additional relativistic term is included to enforce a speed limit in the system. We show that it is related to the fact that the Lieb-Robinson bound does not hold in the continuum limit of the fracton field theory, and the effective bounded speed of light does not emerge. For the theory in finite volume, we show that the fracton wave front acquires fractal shape with non-trivial Hausdorff dimension, and argue that this phenomenon cannot be explained by a simple self-interference effect.

Hyperbolic lattices and two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory [0.0]
Hyperbolic lattices are a new type of synthetic quantum matter emulated in circuit quantum electrodynamics and electric-circuit networks. We show that moments of the density of states of hyperbolic tight-binding models correspond to expectation values of Wilson loops in the quantum gauge theory.

We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We show that scrambling propagates at the maximal speed set by the Fermi velocity. At late times, scrambling is governed by shock-wave dynamics. We find perfectly causal dynamics where the solutions do not spill outside of the light cone.

Topological Quantum Gravity of the Ricci Flow [62.997667081978825]
We present a family of topological quantum gravity theories associated with the geometric theory of the Ricci flow. First, we use BRST quantization to construct a "primitive" topological Lifshitz-type theory for only the spatial metric. We extend the primitive theory by gauging foliation-preserving spacetime symmetries.

Super-exponential diffusion in nonlinear non-Hermitian systems [2.8572548342403024]
We investigate the quantum diffusion of a periodically kicked particle subjecting to both nonlinearity induced self-interactions and $mathcalPT$-symmetric potentials. In the $mathcalPT$-symmetry-breaking phase, the intensity of a state increases exponentially with time, leading to the exponential growth of the interaction strength. The feedback of the intensity-dependent nonlinearity further turns the interaction energy into the kinetic energy, resulting in a super-exponential growth of the mean energy.

Zitterbewegung and Klein-tunneling phenomena for transient quantum waves [77.34726150561087]
We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
