We study and explore the symmetry properties of fermions coupled to dynamical torsion and electromagnetic fields. The stability of the theory upon radiative corrections as well as the presence of anomalies are investigated.
The methods of effective field theory are used to explore the theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the torsion field. Spinor action coupled to electromagnetic field and torsion possesses an additional softly broken gauge symmetry.…
The observed small, positive cosmological constant may originate from a four-fermion interaction generated by the spin-torsion coupling in the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble gravity if the fermions are condensing. In particular, such a…
The interaction of fermion spin with spacetime can be non-universal, leading to a new interaction beyond the Standard Model, independent of gravitation. Fermions generate spacetime torsion, which can be integrated out in favor of a…
Intrinsic spin of fermions can generate torsion in spacetime. This torsion is a non-propagating field that can be integrated out, leaving an effective non-universal four-fermion interaction. This geometrical interaction affects fermions…
In this note we point out that a symmetric product orbifold CFT can be twisted by a unique nontrivial two-cocycle of the permutation group. This discrete torsion changes the spins and statistics of corresponding second-quantized string…
Recent experiments [V.~Grinenko {\it et al.} {Nat. Phys. {\bf 17}, 1254 (2021)}; \url{http://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-021-01350-9}] reported the observation of a condensate of four-fermion composites. This is a resistive state that…
There has been considerable recent interest in the Immirzi parameter as a measure of parity violating effects in the classical theory of gravitation with fermion coupling. Most recently it was shown that the Immirzi parameter together with…
We consider a geometric approach to field theory in which torsion is present in the matter field equations, and we develop the consequences of the torsion-spin coupling for a pair of single-handed spinors; we show these interactions to have…
The dynamics of fermions in curved spacetime is governed by a spin connection, a part of which is contorsion, an auxiliary field independent of the metric, without dynamics but fully expressible in terms of the axial current density of…
One of the main features of unified models, based on affine geometries, is that all possible interactions and fields naturally arise under the same standard. Here, we consider, from the effective Lagrangian of the theory, the torsion…
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…
We develop an iso spin like formulation with particles and their anti particle counterparts. This leads to a new shortlived interaction between them, valid at very high energies and mediated by massive particles. We point out that evidence…
If the gravitino is light and all the other supersymmetric particles are heavy, we can consider the effective theory describing the interactions of its goldstino components with ordinary matter. To discuss the model-dependence of these…
A new class of fragmentation functions, arising from the interference of different hadron production channels, is analyzed. Their symmetry properties with respect to naive time-reversal transformations allow for the exploration of…
Materials with interesting physical properties are often designed based on our understanding of the target physical effects. The physical properties can be either explicitly observed ("apparent") or concealed by the perceived symmetry…
Composite structure of particles somewhat modifies their statistics, compared to the pure Bose- or Fermi-ones. The spin-statistics theorem, so, is not valid anymore. Say, $\pi$-mesons, excitons, Cooper pairs are not ideal bosons, and,…
Spin-changing collisions in trapped Fermi gases may acquire a resonant character due to the compensation of quadratic Zeeman effect and trap energy. These resonances are absent in spinor condensates and pseudo-spin-1/2 Fermi gases, being a…
The essentially unique torsionful version of the classical two-component spinor formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden is presented. All the metric spinors and connecting objects that arise here are formally the same as the ones borne by…
It is well known that bosons and fermions exhibit opposite behaviors when experiencing interference, in the sense that bosons have a tendency to bunch whereas fermions have a tendency to antibunch. Recently, this complementarity was…
