Low energy effective theory near the Dirac points Here γ µ, µ = 0, 1, 2 are 4 4 gamma matrices in a reducible representation which is a direct sum of two inequivalent 2 2 representations: {σ 3, iσ 1, iσ 2 }, {σ 3, iσ 1, iσ 2 } Each of these two-component representations for graphene quasiparticles wave-function is somewhat similar to the spinor description of electron in QED. However in the case of graphene this pseudo spin index refers to the sublattice degree of freedom rather than the real spin of the electrons. The whole effect of the real spin is just in doubling the number of spinor components, so that we have 8-component spinors in graphene (N = 4 species of two-component fermions).

External magnetic field (Anomalous Hall Effect), electromagnetic radiation, quantized fluctuations. 2 Quasi-particles maybe have a mass. This mass is usually very small and could be convenient to perform the Pauli-Villars regularization. 3 A more important mass-like parameter is the chemical potential µ, which describes the quasi-particle density. 4 Impurities in graphene are describing by adding a phenomenological parameter Γ in the propagator of quasi-particles. 5 Most experiments with graphene are done at rather high temperatures: Thermal field theory.
