We argue that the presence of a very strong magnetic field in the chirally broken phase induces inhomogeneous expectation values, of a spiral nature along the magnetic field axis, for the currents of charge and chirality, when there is…

We derive an electric current density $j_{em}$ in the presence of a magnetic field $B$ and a chiral chemical potential $\mu_5$. We show that $j_{em}$ has not only the anomaly-induced term $\propto \mu_5 B$ (i.e. Chiral Magnetic Effect) but…

We present exact results in softly-broken supersymmetric $\text{SU}(N_C)$ chiral gauge theories with charged fermions in one antisymmetric, $N_F$ fundamental, and $N_C+N_F-4$ anti-fundamental representations. We achieve this by considering…

For systems with charged chiral fermions, the imbalance of chirality in the presence of magnetic field generates an electric current - this is the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME). We study the dynamical real-time evolution of electromagnetic…

We describe the chiral phase transition for vector-like SU(N) gauge theories as a function of the number of quark flavors Nf by making use of an anomaly-induced effective potential. The potential depends explicitly on the full beta-function…

Weyl semimetals realize massless relativistic fermions with two Weyl nodes separated in energy and momentum space, whose low-energy physics is described by Dirac fermions with an axial gauge constant. Here, we study their electromagnetic…

The massless fermions of a Weyl semimetal come in two species of opposite chirality, in two cones of the band structure. As a consequence, the current $j$ induced in one Weyl cone by a magnetic field $B$ (the chiral magnetic effect, CME) is…

In the presence of a quark chemical potential, a magnetic field induces an axial current in the direction of the magnetic field. We compute this current in the Sakai-Sugimoto model, a holographic model which, in a certain limit, is dual to…
