The concept of torsion in geometry, although known for a long time, has not gained
considerable attention from the physics community until relatively recently, due to its diverse …

Analogs of fundamental physical phenomena can be used in two ways. One way consists in
reproducing specific aspects of the classical or quantum gravity of quantum fields in curved …

We show that graphene, in its simplest form and settings, is a practical tabletop realization of
the analog of exotic quantum gravity scenarios, which are speculated to lead to certain …

A bstract We derive a 2+ 1 dimensional model with unconventional supersymmetry at the
boundary of an AdS 4\(\mathcal {N}\)-extended supergravity, generalizing previous results …

Assuming dislocations could be meaningfully described by torsion, we propose here a
scenario based on the role of time in the low-energy regime of two-dimensional Dirac …

We propose two different high-energy-theory correspondences with graphene (and related
materials) scenarios, associated to grain boundaries, that are topological defects for which …

In supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, the observed particles come in fermion–
boson pairs necessary for the realization of supersymmetry (SUSY). In spite of the expected …

A bstract In this article, the Cartan geometric approach toward (extended) supergravity in the
presence of boundaries will be discussed. In particular, based on new developments in this …

The counting of the degrees of freedom of the massless Rarita-Schwinger theory is revisited
using covariant and non-covariant techniques. The Ogievetsky-Sokatchev spin-block …

Counting the degrees of freedom of the massless Rarita-Schwinger theory is revisited using
Behrends-Fronsdal projectors. The identification of the gauge invariant part of the vector …
