We introduce a model of interacting bosons exhibiting an infinite collection of fractal symmetries—termed “Pascal’s triangle symmetries”—which provides a natural U(1) generalization of a spin-() system with Sierpinski triangle fractal symmetries introduced in Newmanet al., [Phys. Rev. E 60, 5068 (1999).PLEEE81063-651X10.1103/PhysRevE.60.5068]. The Pascal’s triangle symmetry gives rise to exact degeneracies, as well as a manifold of low-energy states which are absent in the Sierpinski triangle model. Breaking the U(1) symmetry of this model to, with prime integer, yields a lattice model with a unique fractal symmetry which is generated by an operator supported on a fractal subsystem with Hausdorff dimension. The Hausdorff dimension of the fractal can be probed through correlation functions at finite temperature. The phase diagram of these models at zero temperature in the presence of quantum fluctuations, as well as the potential physical construction of the U(1) model, is discussed.
