Is geometry bosonic or fermionic?
Taylor L. Hughes, Andrew Randono
It is generally assumed that the gravitational field is bosonic. Here we show that a simple propagating torsional theory can give rise to localized geometric structures that can co…
Gauge Gravity: a forward-looking introduction
Andrew Randono
This article is a review of modern approaches to gravity that treat the gravitational interaction as a type of gauge theory. The purpose of the article is twofold. First, it is wri…
Torsional Monopoles and Torqued Geometries in Gravity and Condensed Matter
Andrew Randono, Taylor L. Hughes
Torsional degrees of freedom play an important role in modern gravity theories as well as in condensed matter systems where they can be modeled by defects in solids. Here we isolat…
Gravity from a fermionic condensate of a gauge theory
Andrew Randono
The most prominent realization of gravity as a gauge theory similar to the gauge theories of the standard model comes from enlarging the gauge group from the Lorentz group to the d…
The Immirzi Parameter as an Instanton Angle
Simone Mercuri, Andrew Randono
The Barbero-Immirzi parameter is a one parameter quantization ambiguity underpinning the loop approach to quantum gravity that bears tantalizing similarities to the theta parameter…
Entropic corrections to Newton's law
Leonardo Modesto, Andrew Randono
It has been known for some time that there is a deep connection between thermodynamics and gravity, with perhaps the most dramatic implication that the Einstein equations can be vi…
