摘要

In this work, we construct a new foliated quantum field theory equivalent to the exotic ϕ-theory — a fractonic gapless scalar field theory described by tensor gauge fields and exhibiting U(1) × U(1) subsystem global symmetry. This subsystem symmetry has an ’t Hooft anomaly, which is captured by a subsystem symmetry-protected topological (SSPT) phase in one dimension higher via the anomaly inflow mechanism. By analyzing both the anomaly inflow structure and the foliated-exotic duality in the SSPT phases, we establish the foliated-exotic duality in the ϕ-theories. Furthermore, we also investigate the foliated-exotic duality in the ϕ ̂ \( \hat{\phi} \) -theory, which is dual to the ϕ-theory, and construct the foliated ϕ ̂ \( \hat{\phi} \) -theory. These are the first examples of the foliated-exotic duality in gapless theories.
