An event horizon for "relativistic" fermionic quasiparticles can be constructed in a thin film of superfluid 3He-A. The quasiparticles see an effective "gravitational" field which is induced by a topological soliton of the order parameter. Within the soliton the "speed of light" crosses zero and changes sign. When the soliton moves, two planar event horizons (black hole and white hole) appear, with a curvature singularity between them. Aside from the singularity, the effective spacetime is incomplete at future and past boundaries, but the quasiparticles cannot escape there because the nonrelativistic corrections become important as the blueshift grows, yielding "superluminal" trajectories. The question of Hawking radiation from the moving soliton is discussed but not resolved.

  1. Laboratory rivers extremize friction and are cosmological analogues

    physics.geo-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    River cross-sectional profiles satisfy the Friedmann equation for an Anti-de Sitter universe; the associated action extremizes friction and dissipation, and the extremum is a maximum by second variation analysis.

  2. Analog charged black hole formation via percolation: Exploring cosmic censorship and Hoop conjecture

    gr-qc 2025-02 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A Fock-space percolation model of a chiral spin chain is claimed to reproduce charged-black-hole scaling exponents, with exponential cluster growth proposed as the key formation criterion.
