| contents | In a strongly interacting Rydberg atom array, the dynamics are often constrained to the decoupled Hilbert subspaces, representing an intriguing paradigm for nonergodicity. By considering a variable detuning of the global Rydberg coupling, we show that, not only is the existence of these Hilbert subspaces dependent on the interplay of detuning and interaction, but they are also strongly fragmented, with the fragment dimensions exhibiting various scaling behaviors with increasing system size. The resulting constrained dynamics of the system are thus governed by the dimension and connectivity of these fragments. We then adopt an auxiliary fermion description to reveal the underlying emergent kinetic constraints for the subspace fragmentation and fragment-confined dynamics. Our results provide a systematic understanding of Hilbert-space fragmentation in Rydberg arrays, and shed light on engineering nonergodic many-body dynamics beyond the PXP model. |
