Description
A graph-based analogue of a Type-I fracton phase with lineon-like restricted mobility [1,2].
On generic sparse graphs, the Laplacian seed is not rank deficient enough to generate fracton order [3]. Instead, the model exhibits partially confined point-like excitations in a phase more akin to nonlocal topological order.
