Chiral transport in strong magnetic fields
from hydrodynamics & holography
Matthias Kaminski (University of Alabama)
We derive the hydrodynamic transport
coefficients governing a quantum field theory with a chiral anomaly in a
charged thermal fluid state, subjected to a strong external magnetic
field. As a proof of existence, within a holographic model, we
compute most of these transport coefficients. In our model fluid, charged
magnetic black branes in Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory, the
accessible transport coefficients are nonzero, while they show non-trivial
dependence on the magnetic field, anomaly coefficient, and/or charge of
the plasma. Some novel transport effects arise from the presence of a
chiral anomaly, charge, and/or a magnetic field.
