In non-symmorphic lattices, the Lorentz symmetry will be deformed in a way that the null energy-momentum vectors will correspond to on-shell condition for tilted Dirac cone dispersion. In this sense, tilted Dirac/Weyl materials can be viewed as solid state systems where the effective spacetime is non-Minkowski. In this work, we show that the polarization tensor for tilted Dirac cone systems acquires a covariant from only when the spacetime is considered to be an appropriate deformation of the Minkowski spacetime. As a unique consequence of the deformation of the geometry of the spacetime felt by the electrons in tilted Dirac cone materials, the Coulomb density-density interactions will generate corrections in both longitudinal and transverse channels.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-30T14:33:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tilted dirac fermions", "deformed minkowski spacetime", "polarization tensor", "solid state", "tilted dirac cone systems acquires" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
