Phase Separation in Fractonic Fluids: Coarsening, Interfaces, Nucleation, and Hyperuniformity in and out of Equilibrium
Abstract
We develop a theory of phase separation in fluids conserving higher-order multipole moments of a scalar density, and investigate the resulting coarsening dynamics, nucleation, and interfacial fluctuations. We find that higher-order conservation laws slow the relaxation of all phenomena investigated, whereas nonequilibrium violations of the fluctuation--dissipation theorem suppress density and interfacial fluctuations while hindering nucleation. Simulations support these predictions.
