Curved spacetime theory of inhomogeneous Weyl materials

We show how the universal low-energy properties of Weyl semimetals with spatially varying time-reversal (TR) or inversion (I) symmetry breaking are described in terms of chiral fermions experiencing curved-spacetime geometry and synthetic gauge fields. By employing Clifford representations and Schri...
