Hunting Quantum Gravity with Analogs: the case of graphene

G Acquaviva, A Iorio, P Pais, L Smaldone - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
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 …

Quantum black holes as classical space factories

A Iorio, L Smaldone - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2023 - World Scientific
Space and matter may both be manifestations of a single fundamental quantum dynamics,
as it may become evident during black-hole evaporation. Inspired by the fact that quantum …

Classical space from quantum condensates

A Iorio, L Smaldone - Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the boson transformation method to deal with spontaneous symmetry breaking in
quantum field theory, focussing on how it describes the emergence of extended and …

Effective action approach to the dynamical map

M Lewicki, L Smaldone - Modern Physics Letters A, 2024 - World Scientific
The dynamical map represents a fundamental concept in quantum field theory, providing a
solution of the field equations in the Fock space of asymptotic fields. In this paper, we show …

Symmetry and symmetry breaking in physics: From geometry to topology

L Boi - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
Symmetry (and group theory) is a fundamental principle of theoretical physics. Finite
symmetries, continuous symmetries of compact groups, and infinite-dimensional …

Micropolar continua as projective space of Skyrmions

Y Lee - Philosophical Magazine, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Micropolar continua are shown to be the generalisation of nematic liquid crystals through
perspectives of order parameters, topological and geometrical considerations. Micropolar …

Quantum vacua, curved spacetime and singularities

P Kůs - 2023 - dspace.cuni.cz
In this work we investigate the Weyl anomaly from a new perspective. Our goal is to identify
a set-up for which the classical Weyl symmetry is not broken, at the quantum level by the …
