research level - Whis is the difference between charge fractionalization in 1D and 2D?


Both 1D Polyacetelene and 2D fractional quantum Hall state can support fractional excitations.


But as I can see, there are some differences: the ground state of Polyacetelene breaks translational invariance but FQHE does not. In general a symmetry breaking state in 2D are considered as conventional state and does not support fractional excitations.


I wonder why is there such a difference between 1D and 2D fractionalizations?
Is there any 1D model can support fractional excitations from a symmetry preserved ground state ?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
