We consider the coupled EinsteinDiracMaxwell equations for a static, spherically symmetric system of two fermions in a singlet spinor state. Soliton-like solutions are constructed numerically. The stability and the properties of the ground state solutions are discussed for different values of the electromagnetic coupling constant. We find solutions even when the electromagnetic coupling is so strong that the total interaction is repulsive in the Newtonian limit. Our solutions are regular and well-behaved; this shows that the combined electromagnetic and gravitational self-interaction of the Dirac particles is finite.

We suggest that exotic sphere fibrations can be mapped to band topologies in condensed matter systems. These fibrations can correspond to geometric phases of two double bands or state vector bases with second Chern numbers m+n and -n, respectively. They can be related to topological insulators, magnetoelectric effects, and photonic crystals with special edge states. We also consider time-reversal symmetry breaking perturbations of topological insulator, and heterostructures of topological insulators with normal insulators and with superconductors. We consider periodic TI/NI/TI/NI heterostructures, and periodic TI/SC/TI/SC heterostructures. They also give rise to models of Weyl semimetals which have thermal and electrical transports.

1. Initial Data Set formulation The initial data set is given by (gij, pij) on a three dimensional manifold where gij is asymptotically euclidean (so that asymptotic quantities can be defined) and pij falls off quadratically. We also study the case when g^ is asymptotically hyperbolic and the three manifold is asymptotically null. Several important questions remain unsolved for the initial data set and its Cauchy development.
