The coupling between the spin of a massive Dirac fermion and the angular momentum of the medium, i. e. the gravitomagnetic moment, is shown here to be renormalized by QED interactions at finite temperature.

We interpret this maximum in terms of the growth of critical fluctuations near the critical point, and draw analogies between the massive Schwinger model, QCD near the critical point, and ferroelectrics near the Curie point.

In Weyl semimetals subjected to torsion, there are two different kinds of chirality: i) the (coordinate-space) shape of the twisted crystal is chiral, and ii) the momentum space contains chiral quasi-particles.

Superconducting materials with non-centrosymmetric lattices lacking the space inversion symmetry exhibit a variety of interesting parity-breaking phenomena, including magneto-electric effect, spin-polarized currents, helical states, and unusual Josephson effect.
