The physics of graphene is acting as a bridge between quantum field theory and condensed matter physics due to the special quality of the graphene quasiparticles behaving as massless two dimensional Dirac fermions. Moreover, the particular structure of the 2D crystal lattice sets the arena to study and unify concepts from elasticity, topology and cosmology. In this paper we analyze these connections combining a pedagogical, intuitive approach with a more rigorous formalism when required.

Inhomogeneous Weyl and Dirac Semimetals: Transport in Axial Magnetic Fields and Fermi Arc Surface States from Pseudo-Landau Levels (2016, background): “are analogous to those predicted in graphene [3,5,70].”
Novel effects of strains in graphene and other two dimensional materials (2015, background): “of them have been appropriately described in previous literature [350]; others, including mechanical and numerical approaches to analyze the stability of the lattice [19], have been omitted for lack of expertise.”
A review on mechanics and mechanical properties of 2D materials—Graphene and beyond (2016, background): “[215], while a very detailed discussion on the derivation of the pseudomagnetic fields in graphene as a function of strain starting from the classical tight-binding Hamiltonian was given by Ramezani Masir et al.”
Random Strain Fluctuations as Dominant Disorder Source for High-Quality On-Substrate Graphene Devices (2014, background): “Indeed, strain generates random pseudomagnetic fields [36] that not only scatter charge carriers, but also break the effective time-reversal symmetry in a single valley [26,27] on approximately the same time scale.”
Artificial gauge fields in materials and engineered systems (2017, neutral): “We therefore invite the interested reader to consult the following reviews and progress articles for more detailed discussions: on artificial gauge fields in solids [19], ultracold atoms [11,12,13,14,15], photonics [16,17], and mechanical systems [18].”
