The aim of this paper is to present a short introduction to supergeometry on pure odd supermanifolds. (Pseudo)differential forms, Cartan calculus (DeRham differential, Lie derivative, "inner" product), metric, inner product, Killing's…
It is first argued that radiation by a uniformly accelerated charge in flat space-time indicates the need for a unified geometric theory of gravity and electromagnetism. Such a theory, based on a metric-affine $U_4$ manifold, is constructed…
The motion of a conducting electron in a quantum dot with one or several dislocations in the underlying crystal lattice is considered in the continuum picture, where dislocations are represented by torsion of space. The possible effects of…
We propose a novel framework that interprets the electromagnetic field as a manifestation of spacetime pseudo-curvature, bridging electromagnetism with the geometric principles of general relativity. By introducing modified field equations,…

Alternatives to the usual general relativity (GR) Riemannian framework include Riemann-Cartan and teleparallel geometry. The ``teleparallel equivalent of GR" (TEGR, aka GR${}_{||}$) has certain virtues, however there have been allegations…
We consider a Weyl-Lorentz-$U(1)$-invariant gravity model written in terms of a scalar field, electromagnetic field and nonmetricity without torsion and curvature, the so-called symmetric teleparallel geometry, in three dimensions. Firstly,…
We examine the teleparallel formulation of non-minimally coupled scalar Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. In the teleparallel formulation, gravity is described by torsion instead of curvature, causing the usual Gauss-Bonnet invariant expressed…
Coupling the Maxwell tensor to the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor is shown to lead to a geometricized theory of electrodynamics. While this geometricized theory leads directly to the classical Maxwell equations, it also extends their…
Geometrically a crystal containing dislocations and disclinations can be envisaged as a `fixed frame' Cartan--Einstein space-time carrying torsion and curvature, respectively. We demonstrate that electrons in defected graphene are…
Among all electromagnetic theories which (a) are derivable from a Lagrangian, (b) satisfy the dominant energy condition, and (c) in the weak field limit coincide with classical linear electromagnetics, we identify a certain subclass with…
We reformulate the general theory of relativity in the language of Riemann-Cartan geometry. We start from the assumption that the space-time can be described as a non-Riemannian manifold, which, in addition to the metric field, is endowed…
Correspondences between the Thomson Problem and atomic electron shell-filling patterns are observed as systematic non-uniformities in the distribution of potential energy necessary to change configurations of $N\le 100$ electrons into…
Discussed are field-theoretic models with degrees of freedom described by the $n$-leg field in an $n$-dimensional "space-time" manifold. Lagrangians are generally-covariant and invariant under the internal group GL$(n,{\bf R})$. It is shown…
A teleparallel geometry is an n-dimensional manifold equipped with a frame basis and an independent spin connection. For such a geometry, the curvature tensor vanishes and the torsion tensor is non-zero. A straightforward approach to…
The geometrization of electrodynamics is obtained by performing the complex extension of the covariant derivative operator to include the Cartan torsion vector and applying this derivative to the Ginzburg-Landau equation of superfluids and…
