Examples include spin-ice compounds whose spin moments are aligned to fulfill a local ice rule\, frustrated quantum magnets with dimerized excit ations\, and fracton phases with excitations that are only mobile in certa in directions if at all. Here\, we will discuss that the combination of ch arge and dipole conservation\, a characteristic of fractonic quantum matte r\, leads to an extensive fragmentation of the Hilbert space\, which in tu rn can lead to a breakdown of thermalization. We characterize such a Hilbe rt space fragmentation by introducing `statistically localized integrals o f motion' (SLIOM)\, whose eigenvalues label the connected components of th e Hilbert space. SLIOMs are not spatially localized in the operator sense\ , but appear localized to sub-extensive regions in space when their expect ation value is taken in typical states with a finite density of particles. Furthermore\, we discuss that there exist perturbations which destroy the se integrals of motion in the bulk of the system\, while keeping them on t he boundary. This results in statistically localized strong zero modes\, l eading to infinitely long-lived edge magnetizations along with a thermaliz ing bulk\, constituting the first example of such strong edge modes in a n on-integrable model. We also discuss that in a particular example\, these edge modes lead to the appearance of topological string order in a certain subset of highly excited eigen states. A variant of these models can be r ealized in Rydberg quantum simulators.\n DTSTART:20210216T203000Z DTEND:20210216T213000Z SUMMARY:Michael Knap (Technical University of Munich) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/michael-knap-technical-un iversity-munich-328382 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
