What is Chiral Magnetic Effect? 2 Chirality imbalance +
Magnetic field = Electric current Talks at Quarks 2014: V. Braguta,
T. Kalaydzhyan, A. Kotov
Slide 3
Quantum anomalies 3 Anomalies: The classical symmetry of the
Lagrangian is broken by quantum effects - examples: chiral symmetry
- axial anomaly scale symmetry - scale anomaly Anomalies imply
correlations between currents: e.g. decay A V V if A, V are
background fields, V is not conserved!
Slide 4
Quantum anomalies 4 A In classical background fields (E and B),
chiral anomaly induces a collective motion in the Dirac sea
Slide 5
Chiral Magnetic Effect in a chirally imbalanced plasma
Fukushima, DK, Warringa, PRD08 In the presence of the chiral
chemical potential and in magnetic field, the vector e.m. current
is not conserved: Compute the current through The result:
Coefficient is fixed by the axial anomaly, no corrections 5

Slide 21
Hydrodynamics and anomalies Hydrodynamics: an effective
low-energy TOE. States that the response of the fluid to slowly
varying perturbations is completely determined by conservation laws
(energy, momentum, charge,...) Conservation laws are a consequence
of symmetries of the underlying theory What happens to
hydrodynamics when these symmetries are broken by quantum effects
(anomalies of QCD and QED)? 21
Slide 22
Chiral MagnetoHydroDynamics (CMHD) - relativistic hydrodynamics
with triangle anomalies and external electromagnetic fields 22
First order (in the derivative expansion) formulation: D. Son and
P. Surowka, arXiv:0906.5044 Constraining the new anomalous
transport coefficients: positivity of the entropy production rate,
CME (for chirally imbalanced matter)
Slide 23
Chiral MagnetoHydroDynamics (CMHD) - relativistic hydrodynamics
with triangle anomalies and external electromagnetic fields 23
First order hydrodynamics has problems with causality and is
numerically unstable, so second order formulation is necessary;
Complete second order formulation of CMHD with anomaly: DK and
H.-U. Yee, 1105.6360; Phys Rev D Many new transport coefficients -
use conformal/Weyl invariance; still 18 independent transport
coefficients related to the anomaly. 15 that are specific to 2nd
order: new Many new anomaly-induced phenomena!
Slide 24
Chiral MagnetoHydroDynamics (CMHD) - relativistic hydrodynamics
with triangle anomalies and external electromagnetic fields 24 DK
and H.-U. Yee, 1105.6360 Positivity of entropy production - still
too many unconstrained transport coefficients... Is there another
guiding principle?
Slide 25
No entropy production from T-even anomalous terms 25 P-even
T-odd P-odd T-odd P-odd effect! T- even Non-dissipative current!
(time-reversible - no arrow of time, no entropy production) cf
Ohmic conductivity: T-odd, dissipative DK and H.-U. Yee,
1105.6360
Slide 26
No entropy production from P-odd anomalous terms 26 DK and
H.-U. Yee, 1105.6360 Mirror reflection: entropy decreases ?
Decrease is ruled out by 2nd law of thermodynamics Entropy
grows
Slide 27
No entropy production from T-even anomalous terms 27 1st order
hydro: Son-Surowka results are reproduced 2nd order hydro: 13 out
of 18 transport coefficients are computed; but is the guiding
principle correct? Can we check the resulting relations between the
transport coefficients? e.g. DK and H.-U. Yee, 1105.6360
Slide 28
The fluid/gravity correspondence 28 DK and H.-U. Yee, 1105.6360
Long history: Hawking, Bekenstein, Unruh; Damour 78; Thorne, Price,
MacDonald 86 (membrane paradigm) Recent developments motivated by
AdS/CFT: Policastro, Kovtun, Son, Starinets 01 (quantum bound)
Bhattacharya, Hubeny, Minwalla, Rangamani 08 (fluid/gravity
correspondence) Some of the transport coefficients of 2nd order
hydro computed; enough to check some of our relations, e.g. J.
Erdmenger et al, 0809.2488; N. Banerjee et al, 0809.2596 It works
Other holographic checks work as well:
Slide 29
The chiral magnetic current is non-dissipative: protected from
(local) scattering and dissipation by (global) topology Somewhat
similar to superconductivity, but can exist at high temperature!
Anomalous transport coefficients in hydrodynamics describe
dissipation- free processes (unlike e.g. shear viscosity) 29
