| contents | We reveal the presence of a new source of axial current due to the condensed vacuum generated
by the spin-spin interaction. To show this, we consider a quartic Dirac Lagrangian containing a
spin-spin interaction term, possibly originating from torsion in Einstein-Cartan-like theories. We
use a mean field approach to analyze the quantized theory. We show that the diagonalization of the
field Hamiltonian defines a new vacuum state, energetically favored with respect to the free vacuum.
Such a vacuum, which is a condensate of particle-antiparticle pairs, is characterized by a nontrivial
expectation value of the axial current operator. The new source of axial current, here obtained, can
have effects both at the atomic level and at the astrophysical-cosmological level depending on the
origin of the spin-spin interaction term. The condensate may affect the dark sector of the universe
at cosmological level and the axial current originated by the vacuum condensate could be analyzed
in next table top experiments on graphene |
