Some controversies on fermionic matter with vorticity

Kenji Fukushima (Tokyo University)

In non-central heavy-ion collisions or in neutron star cores finite rotation effects should be as important as magnetic field effects, or their interplay is quite non-trivial. Recently some possible effects of rotation on chiral condensate are discussed, but we found that no effects appear as long as the temperature is zero. This situation is qualitatively changed by the magnetic field or the finite temperature; the former is easy to understand from the triangle gauge anomaly, while the latter is highly non-trivial, especially a microscopic connection to the mixed anomaly is still not very clear.  Some controversies will be discussed.
