Quasiparticles with fractional charges in fractionally filled systems
Abstract
We study systems that approach a state possessing discrete symmetry due to different degenerate realizations for the system. For concreteness, we consider fractionally filled systems where degeneracy comes from the presence of identical sub-lattices. We show that such systems possess a new type of quasiparticles with fractional charges, which we refer to as fractyons. We discuss static and dynamic properties of these quasiparticles.
