The paper is devoted to the memory of Dmitry Diakonov. We discuss gravity emerging in the fermionic vacuum as suggested by Diakonov 10 years ago in his paper "Towards lattice-regularized Quantum Gravity". Gravity emerges in the phase transition. The order parameter in this transition is the tetrad field, which appears as the bilinear composite of the fermionic fields. This symmetry breaking gives 6 Nambu-Goldstone modes; 6 gauge bosons in the spin-connection fields, which absorb 6 NG modes and become massive gauge bosons; and 6 Higgs fields. The similar scenario of the symmetry breaking with appearance of the $5+1$ Higgs gravitons takes place in the B-phase of superfluid $^3$He. While in $^3$He-B these Higgs modes are all massive, in the GR these Higgs collective modes give rise to two massless gravitational waves.

  1. Emergence of dynamical tensor fields in composite models of gravity

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Auxiliary tensor fields in composite gravity models acquire dynamical kinetic terms via FRG flows, reproducing the transverse-traceless quadratic Einstein-Hilbert structure in the spin-2 sector.

  2. Probing metric fluctuations with the spin of a particle in a quantum simulation

    quant-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Proposes emulating metric fluctuations' effect on fermion spin in a lattice (2+1)D massive gravity model via a minimal two-bosonic-mode system simulatable with atomic states in an optical cavity.
