The Hall effect usually occurs when the Lorentz force acts on a charge current in a conductor in the presence of perpendicular magnetic field. On the other hand, neutral quasi-particles such as phonons and spins can carry heat current and…

Chiral symmetries in field theory are typically affected by an anomaly in the quantum theory. This anomaly emerges when one introduces an interaction with a Yang-Mills or gravitational background. Physical applications of this quantum…
The quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect both require time-reversal invariance to be broken. We show that non-equilibrium effects can cause Hall physics to arise even when the system is weakly time-reversal symmetric…
