Abstract
We discuss parity violating effects in relativistic quantum theory and their analogues in effective field theory of superfluid 3He-A. A mixed axial-gravitational Chern-Simons term in the relativistic effective action and its condensed matter analog are responsible for the chiral fermion flux along the rotation axis of the heat bath in relativistic system and for the unusual Omega-odd dependence of the zero-temperature density of the normal component on the rotation velocity in 3He-A.
