The handful of new insights regarding algebra enlargements and spacetime with a gravitational analog of the magnetic monopole.

General Relativity could be generalized in various ways: in particular the first-order formalism of gravity including various algebraic enlargements. Presented class of topics finds interesting applications not only in the construction of the gravity models, establishing the black hole thermodynamics for spacetime supposedly possessing gravitational magnetic monopole, but also in the description of the so-called topological insulators (which are certain real materials studied in condensed matter physics).
