Abstract

The authors present an analogy between Einstein's gravitational theory and solids with tilted Dirac/Weyl cone in their energy bands, in that both can be described as emergent spacetime structures at ambient conditions. By allowing the tilt to vary in the space, the paper generates novel forms of electric forces that arise from geometry of the spacetime.
