Theories with a non-minimal coupling between the space-time curvature and matter fields introduce an extra force due to the non-conservation of the matter energy momentum. In the present work the theoretical consistency of such couplings is…
We develop a new theory of pairing and magnetic spin fluctuation effect near the quantum critical point. Several novel properties are predicted: 1) based on a spin fermion model, we derive two new interactions, a) a spin deformational…
We propose a CPT-even and Lorentz-violating dimension-five nonminimal coupling between fermionic and gauge fields, involving the CPT-even and Lorentz-violating gauge tensor of the Standard-Model Extension. This nonminimal coupling modifies…
The "measurability" of the non-minimal coupling is discussed in the context of the effective field theory of gravity. Although there is no obvious motive for excluding a non-minimal scalar coupling from the theory, we conclude that for…
Many effective field theories describing gravity cannot arise from an underlying theory based on Riemann geometry or its extensions to include torsion and nonmetricity but may instead emerge from another geometry or may have a nongeometric…
Within a spin-gauge theory of gravity unified with the electroweak interaction we start with totally symmetric left- and right-handed fermions and explain the parity violation by symmetry breaking in such a way that the $W^{\pm}$-bosons…

We study chiral symmetry breaking for relativistic fermions, described by a parity violating Lagrangian in 2+1-dimensions, in the presence of a heat bath and a uniform external magnetic field. Working within their four-component formalism…
Lattice field theory is a useful tool for studying strongly interacting theories in condensed matter physics. A prominent example is the unitary Fermi gas: a two-component system of fermions interacting with divergent scattering length.…
We develop statistical mechanics for a nonrelativisitic ideal gas in the presence of Lorentz violating background fields. The analysis is performed using the Standard-Model Extension (SME). We derive the corresponding laws of thermodynamics…
We propose that in noncentrosymmetric superconductors with weakly asymmetric spin-orbit interaction the field-induced pair correlation between the spin-orbit split different bands ignored in previous studies yields unique effects; i.e. the…

Parity-violating quasielastic electron scattering is studied within the context of the relativistic Fermi gas and its extensions to include the effects of pionic correlations and meson-exchange currents. The work builds on previous studies…
We revisit models, within the Einstein-Cartan theory, where the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is promoted to a variable, at the cost of allowing for torsion even in the absence of spinors. We remark that some standard notions about FRW…
We present a calculation of the parity-violating longitudinal asymmetry in proton-proton scattering. The calculation is performed in the framework of chiral effective field theory which is applied systematically to both the…
The Ising limit of a conventional Hermitian parity-symmetric scalar quantum field theory is a correlated limit in which two bare Lagrangian parameters, the coupling constant $g$ and the {\it negative} mass squared $-m^2$, both approach…
Holst term represents an interesting addition to the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity with torsion. When this term is present the contact interactions between vector and axial vector fermion currents gain an extra parity-violating…
We take a Dirac field non-minimally coupled to the gravitational field within the framework of the Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity with torsion and curvature. We study the subcase of "weak" gravity, that is, the gravitational Lagrangian…
Low-energy Lorentz-invariant quantities could receive contributions from a fundamental theory producing small Lorentz-violating effects. Within the Lorentz-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics, we investigate, perturbatively, the…
