Coupling fermions to gravity necessarily leads to a non-renormalizable, gravitational four-fermion contact interaction. In this essay, we argue that augmenting the Einstein-Cartan Lagrangian with suitable kinetic terms quadratic in the gravitational gauge field strengths (torsion and curvature) gives rise to new, massive propagating gravitational degrees of freedom. This is to be seen in close analogy to Fermi's effective four-fermion interaction and its emergent W and Z bosons.

  1. `Translation invariant' black hole: autoparallels and complete integrability

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Autoparallel motion in a class of torsionful Schwarzschild spacetimes is completely integrable via four conserved quantities, and positive-energy autoparallels are repelled by the black hole.
