Abstract

Abstract: We reconsider monolayer graphene in the presence of elastic deformations. It is described by the tight - binding model with varying hopping parameters. We demonstrate, that the fermionic quasiparticles propagate in the emergent 2 D Weitzenbock geometry and in the presence of the emergent U (1) gauge field. Both emergent geometry and the gauge field are defined by the elastic deformation of graphene.
