Torsion at different scales: from materials to the Universe

NE Mavromatos, P Pais, A Iorio - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
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 …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Bekenstein bound and uncertainty relations

L Buoninfante, GG Luciano, L Petruzziello, F Scardigli - Physics Letters B, 2022 - Elsevier
The non–zero value of Planck constant h underlies the emergence of several inequalities
that must be satisfied in the quantum realm, the most prominent one being Heisenberg …

Bogoliubov transformation and Schrödinger representation on curved space

MM Kozhikkal, A Mohd - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
It is usually accepted that quantum dynamics described by the Schrödinger equation that
determines the evolution of states from one Cauchy surface to another is unitary. However, it …

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 …

Carbon pseudospheres and the BTZ black hole

A Iorio - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.00106, 2022 - arxiv.org
I first recall the uses of Dirac materials as tabletop realizations of high energy physics
scenarios. Then I point to a specific system that might reproduce a massless BTZ black hole …

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 …

Topologically inequivalent quantizations

G Acquaviva, A Iorio, L Smaldone - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
We discuss the representations of the algebra of quantization, the canonical commutation
relations, in a scalar quantum field theory with spontaneously broken U (1) internal …

Quantum black holes, partition of integers and self-similarity

P Castorina, A Iorio, L Smaldone - Modern Physics Letters A, 2022 - World Scientific
In this paper, we take the view that the area of a black hole's event horizon is quantized, A= l
P 2 (4 ln 2) N, and the associated degrees of freedom are finite in number and of fermionic …

Hunting Quantum Gravity with Analogs: The Case of High-Energy Particle Physics

P Castorina, A Iorio, H Satz - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
In this review, we collect, for the first time, old and new research results, and present future
perspectives on how hadron production, in high-energy scattering processes, can …
