On axial current in rotating and accelerating medium

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-10-31 v2

Abstract

Statistical average of the axial current is evaluated on the basis of the covariant Wigner function. In the resulting formula, chemical potential μ\mu, angular velocity Ω\Omega and acceleration aa enter in combination μ±(Ω±ia)/2\mu \pm (\Omega \pm ia)/2. The limiting cases of zero mass and zero temperature are investigated in detail. In the zero-mass limit, the axial current is described by a smooth function only at temperatures higher than the Unruh temperature. At zero temperature, the axial current, as a function of the angular velocity and chemical potential, vanishes in a two-dimensional plane region.
