DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, a new class of physical systems have been di
 scovered admitting quasiparticle excitations that are unable to move freel
 y in space\, known as fractons. In the continuum limit\, these systems giv
 e rise to quantum field theories featuring exotic symmetries such as conse
 rved 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 spontaneous
 ly broken and explore the physical implications of the symmetry breaking p
 attern. The talk is based on a recent paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.09
 852.
