contents In this paper we explore the properties of a 1-dimensional spin chain in the presence of chiral interactions, focusing on the system's transition to distinct chiral phases for various values of the chiral coupling. By employing the mean field theory approximation we establish a connection between this chiral system and a Dirac particle in the curved spacetime of a black hole. Surprisingly, the black hole horizon coincides with the interface between distinct chiral phases. We examine the chiral properties of the system for homogeneous couplings and in scenarios involving position dependent couplings that correspond to black hole geometries. To determine the significance of interactions in the chiral chain we employ bosonization techniques and derive the corresponding Luttinger liquid model. Furthermore, we investigate the classical version of the model to understand the impact of the chiral operator on the spins and gain insight into the observed chirality. Our findings shed light on the behavior of the spin chain under the influence of the chiral operator, elucidating the implications of chirality in various contexts, including black hole physics.
