Torsion at different scales: from materials to the Universe
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
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
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 …

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
