Dirac fermion fields are responsible for spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge gravitation theory because the spin structure associated with a tetrad field is not preserved under general covariant transformations. Two solutions of this…

In this paper we investigate the arising of non-hermitian phase transitions on quantum torus surfaces. We consider a single fermion whose dynamics is governed by the Dirac equation confined to move on a quantum torus surface. The effects of…

The gapless fermionic excitations in superfluid 3He-A have the "relativistic" spectrum close to the gap nodes. This allowed us to model the modern cosmological scenaria of baryogenesis and magnetogenesis. The same massless fermions induce…

We extend Dirac's approach about the quantization of the electric charge to the case of gravitational configurations. The spacetime curvature is used to define a phase-like object which allows us to extract information about the behavior of…

Using complexified quaternions, a formalism without Lorentz frames, and therefore also without vierbeins, for dealing with tensor and spinor fields in curved spacetime is presented. A local U(1) gauge symmetry, which, it is speculated,…

We continue to explore the possibility that the graviton in two dimensions is related to a quadratic differential that appears in the anomalous contribution of the gravitational effective action for chiral fermions. A higher dimensional…

Whether torsion plays or not a role in the description of the gravitational interaction is a problem that can only be solved by experiment. This is, however, a difficult task: since there are different possible interpretations for torsion,…

Using the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation we put under investigation a hypothetical universe filled with a fermionic field (with a self interaction potential) and a matter constituent ruled by a barotropic equation of state. It is shown…

In conventional general relativity without torsion, high-frequency gravitational waves couple to the chiral number density of spin one-half quanta: the polarization of the waves is rotated by $2\pi N_5 {\ell_{\rm Pl}^2}$, where $N_5$ is the…

The Fermi-point scenario of emergent gravity has the following consequences: gravity emerges together with fermionic and bosonic matter; emergent fermionic matter consists of massless Weyl fermions; emergent bosonic matter consists of gauge…
