Abstract

We present a theory of the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect in a model of a doped Weyl semimetal, which serves here as the simplest toy model of a generic three-dimensional metallic ferromagnet with Weyl nodes in the electronic structure. We analytically evaluate the anomalous Hall conductivity as a function of doping, which allows us to explicitly separate the Fermi surface and non Fermi surface contributions to the Hall conductivity by carefully evaluating the zero frequency and zero wavevector limits of the corresponding response function. We show that this separation agrees with the one suggested a long time ago in the context of the quantum Hall effect by Streda.
