QCD Kondo effect in a dense quark matter and in a strong magnetic field

Koichi Hattori (Fudan University, Shanghai)

I will discuss Kondo effect as one of consequences of effective dimensional reductions occurring in the low-energy dynamics of light quarks in the dense QCD and in a strong magnetic field. The QCD Kondo effect appears when heavy-quark impurities are embedded in such environments. As a prospect, I will also discuss the heavy-quark diffusion dynamics in heavy-ion collisions under a strong magnetic field, which could be affected by the QCD Kondo effect.
