In recent years, a new class of physical systems have been discovered admitting quasiparticle excitations that are unable to move freely in space, known as fractons. In the continuum limit, these systems give rise to quantum field theories featuring exotic symmetries such as conserved dipole or multipole moments. In this talk, we will consider thermal aspects of fracton systems featuring conserved dipole moment, making our way to a hydrodynamic theory of fractons. In particular, we find that the dipole symmetries in these thermal phases of fractons must be spontaneously broken and explore the physical implications of the symmetry breaking pattern. The talk is based on a recent paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.09852.
