Abstract

A time-dependent strain induces non-Abelian gauge field in a sheet of graphene. We discuss the effective field theory of this system of graphene subjected to a general form of time-dependent strain. We study the modifications to this effective field theory as a result of breaking Lorentz symmetry down to its sub-group, [Formula: see text], employing the VSR formalism. As the effective theory describing the graphene system has gauge symmetry; to quantize this theory, we add a suitable ghost and gauge fixing terms to the original action. The resultant action is observed to be invariant under a BRST symmetry. We have studied the BRST symmetry of the resultant theory, and explicitly constructed the BRST transformations.
