Abstract

Riemannian effective spacetime description of Hawking radiation in 3HeA^{3}He-A superfluids is extended to non-Riemannian effective spacetime. An example is given of non-Riemannian effective geometry of the rotational motion of the superfluid vacuum around the vortex where the effective spacetime Cartan torsion can be associated to the Hawking giving rise to a physical interpretation of effective torsion recently introduced in the literature in the form of an acoustic torsion in superfluid 4He^{4}He (PRD-70(2004),064004). Curvature and torsion singularities of this 3HeA^{3}He-A fermionic superfluid are investigated. This Lense-Thirring effective metric, representing the superfluid vacuum in rotational motion, is shown not support Hawking radiation when the isotropic 4He^{4}He is restored at far distances from the vortex axis. Hawking radiation can be expressed also in topological solitons (moving domain walls) in fermionic superfluids in non-Riemannian (teleparallel) (1+1)(1+1) dimensional effective spacetime. A teleparallel solution is proposed where the quasiparticle speed is determined from the teleparallel geometry.
