We consider the role of coordinate dependent tetrads (Fermi velocities), momentum space geometry, and torsional Landau levels (LLs) in condensed matter systems with low-energy Weyl quasiparticles. In contrast to their relativistic counterparts, they arise at finite momenta and an explicit cutoff to the linear spectrum. Via the universal coupling of tetrads to momentum, they experience geometric chiral and axial anomalies with gravitational character. More precisely, at low-energy, the fermions experience background fields corresponding to emergent anisotropic Riemann-Cartan and Newton-Cartan spacetimes, depending on the form of the low-energy dispersion. On these backgrounds, we show how torsion and the Nieh-Yan (NY) anomaly appear in condensed matter Weyl systems with a ultraviolet (UV) parameter with dimensions of momentum. The torsional NY anomaly arises in simplest terms from the spectral flow of torsional LLs coupled to the nodes at finite momenta and the linear approximation with a cutoff. We carefully review the torsional anomaly and spectral flow for relativistic fermions at zero momentum and contrast this with the spectral flow, non-zero torsional anomaly and the appearance the dimensionful UV-cutoff parameter in condensed matter systems at finite momentum. We apply this to chiral transport anomalies sensitive to the emergent tetrads in non-homogenous chiral superconductors, superfluids and Weyl semimetals under elastic strain. This leads to the suppression of anomalous density at nodes from geometry, as compared to (pseudo)gauge fields. We also briefly discuss the role torsion in anomalous thermal transport for non-relativistic Weyl fermions, which arises via Luttingers fictitious gravitational field corresponding to thermal gradients.
The quantum Hall effect in curved space has been the subject of many theoretical investigations in the past, but devising a physical system to observe this effect is hard. Many works have indicated that electronic excitations in strained graphene rea
We present a theory of the isotropic-nematic quantum phase transition in the composite Fermi liquid arising in half-filled Landau levels. We show that the quantum phase transition between the isotropic and the nematic phase is triggered by an attract
We study multielectron bubble phases in the $N=2$ and $N=3$ Landau levels in a high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs sample. We found that the longitudinal magnetoresistance versus temperature curves in the multielectron bubble region exhibit sharp peaks, irresp
A new family of the low-buckled Dirac materials which includes silicene, germanene, etc. is expected to possess a more complicated sequence of Landau levels than in pristine graphene. Their energies depend, among other factors, on the strength of the
We perform a systematic {it ab initio} study of the work function and its uniform strain dependence for graphene and silicene for both tensile and compressive strains. The Poisson ratios associated with armchair and zigzag strains are also computed.
