Fermions become polarized in a vorticular fluid due to spin-vorticity coupling. Such a polarization can be calculated from the Wigner function in a quantum kinetic approach. Extending previous results for chiral fermions, we derive the…

Gravitational field can cause a rotation of polarisation plane of light. This phenomenon is known as the gravitational Faraday effect. We study the gravitational Faraday effect of linearly polarised light propagating in the gravitational…

We study spin wave relaxation in quantum Hall ferromagnet regimes. Spin-orbit coupling is considered as a factor determining spin nonconservation, and external random potential as a cause of energy dissipation making spin-flip processes…

The four-fermion gravitational interaction is induced by torsion, and gets essential on the Planck scale. On this scale, the axial-axial contribution dominates strongly in the discussed interaction. The energy-momentum tensor, generated by…

It is shown that a vorticity, constructed from spin field of a quantum spinning plasma, combines with the classical generalized vorticity (representing the magnetic and the velocity fields) to yield a new grand generalized vorticity that…

The rotation of polarization occurs for light interacting with chiral materials. It requires the light states with opposite chiralities interact differently with the materials. We demonstrate analogous rotation of polarization also exists…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: First lending more support to torsion alternative gravity theories to General Relativity and cosmology and torsion detection by showing how they can simply used in the investigation of helicity and…

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…

In this paper, we will show that gravity can emerge from an effective field theory, obtained by tracing out the fermionic system from an interacting quantum field theory, when we impose the condition that the field equations must be Cauchy…

The spin Hall effect is one of the most relevant effects in spintronics and the key to conversion from charge current into spin current. We report here a phenomenon, which appears in response to the spin Hall effect and represents the…

We investigate superfluidity of the relativistic fermi-gas with gravitational interaction. The excitation spectrum is obtained within the linearized theory. While superfluidity may take place at a definite ratio of the Fermi momentum, rest…
