3+1-dimensional Weyl fermions in interacting systems are described by effective quasi-relativistic Green's functions parametrized by a 16 element matrix $e^\mu_\alpha$ in an expansion around the Weyl point. The matrix $e^{\mu}_{\alpha}$ can be naturally identified as an effective tetrad field for the fermions. The correspondence between the tetrad field and an effective quasi-relativistic metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ governing the Weyl fermions allows for the possibility to simulate different classes of metric fields emerging in general relativity in interacting Weyl semimetals. According to this correspondence, there can be four types of Weyl fermions, depending on the signs of the components $g^{00}$ and $g_{00}$ of the effective metric. In addition to the conventional type-I fermions with a tilted Weyl cone and type-II fermions with an overtilted Weyl cone for $g^{00}>0$ and respectively $g_{00}>0$ or $g_{00}<0$, we find additional "type-III" and "type-IV" Weyl fermions with instabilities (complex frequencies) for $g^{00}<0$ and $g_{00}>0$ or $g_{00}<0$, respectively. While the type-I and type-II Weyl points allow us to simulate the black hole event horizon at an interface where $g^{00}$ changes sign, the type-III Weyl point leads to effective spacetimes with closed timelike curves.

  1. Dirac-Line Criticality and Emergent Horizons in Weyl Lifshitz Transitions

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The Lifshitz transition from type-I to type-II Weyl states is equivalent to a black hole horizon, featuring a Dirac-line Fermi surface with nontrivial topological invariant and critical chiral anomaly.

  2. Classical limit for Dirac fermions with modified action in the presence of the black hole

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A covariant model of Dirac fermions with an extra Planck-derived term yields the same Einstein-equation collapse as ordinary GR yet permits numerical trajectories that escape the black hole.
