Many faces of chiral magnetic effects

Igor Shovkovy (Arizona State University)

Chiral relativistic plasmas play an important role in many high-energy systems, as well as in a number of condensed matter systems with pseudo-relativistic quasiparticles. Interestingly, the quantum anomalies of the theory and the chirality of constituent particles may profoundly affect certain physical properties of the corresponding plasmas. By now, a large number of interesting phenomena were proposed and investigated. In many cases, however, systematic generalizations of underlying phenomena are not obvious when the systems have finite sizes. In this talk, I will first give a review of chiral relativistic plasmas and discuss their applications to various physical systems, and then discuss the recent progress in studying fine-size systems.
