Emergent spacetime from a Berry-inspired dynamical gauge field coupled to electromagnetism
Patrick Copinger, Pablo Morales
Motivated by the fermionic Berry's phase in momentum space, we study a local Abelian phase in momentum space coupled to electromagnetism, for complex scalars in the phase-space wor…
Curvature-induced pseudogauge fields from time-dependent geometries in graphene
Pablo A. Morales, Patrick Copinger
The massless Dirac equation is studied in curved spacetime on the (2+1)-dimensional graphene sheet in time-dependent geometries. Emergent pseudogauge fields are found both in the a…
Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian under an axial gauge field
Patrick Copinger, Koichi Hattori, Di-Lun Yang
Augmentations to the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian (QED one-loop effective action in homogeneous electromagnetic fields) under a constant background axial gauge are examined. Two spe…
Angular Momentum Inheritance from the Schwinger Effect in (Chromo)electromagnetic Fields
Patrick Copinger, Yoshimasa Hidaka
The angular momentum of fermion pairs generated by the Schwinger effect is studied in homogeneous (chromo)electromagnetic fields, mimicking the early stages of a heavy-ion collisio…
Berry phase in the phase space worldline representation: the axial anomaly and classical kinetic theory
Patrick Copinger, Shi Pu
The Berry phase is analyzed for Weyl and Dirac fermions in a phase space representation of the worldline formalism. Kinetic theories are constructed for both at a classical level.…
