Superconducting and Anti-Ferromagnetic Phases of Spacetime
Abstract
A correspondence between the SO(5) theory of High-TC superconductivity and antiferromagnetism, put forward by Zhang and collaborators, and a theory of gravity arising from symmetry breaking of a SO(5) gauge field is presented. A physical correspondence between the order parameters of the unified SC/AF theory and the generators of the gravitational gauge connection is conjectured. A preliminary identification of regions of geometry, in solutions of Einstein's equations describing charged-rotating black holes embedded in deSitter spacetime, with SC and AF phases is carried out.
