A kinetic theory can be modified to incorporate triangle anomalies and the chiral magnetic effect by taking into account the Berry curvature flux through the Fermi surface. We show how such a kinetic theory can be derived from underlying…

In heavy-ion collisions, an interesting question of phenomenological relevance is how the chiral imbalance generated at early times persists through a fluctuating background of sphalerons in addition to other "non-anomalous" interactions…
The Choh Uhlenbeck equation was the first successful generalization of the Boltzmann equation to include triple collisions in a systematic manner. Detailed analysis of its triple collision term has led to the important concept of ring…
Kinetic theory of dissipative particle dynamics is developed in terms of a Boltzmann pair collision theory. The kinetic transport coefficients are computed from explicit collision integrals and compared favourably with detailed simulations.…
We introduce the quantum-field-theory (QFT) derivation of chiral kinetic theory (CKT) from the Wigner-function approach, which manifests side jumps and non-scalar distribution functions associated with Lorentz covariance and incorporates…
In this work we adapt the foundations of relativistic kinetic theory and the Boltzmann equation to particles with Lorentz-violating dispersion relations. The latter are taken to be those associated to two commonly considered sets of…
We construct the double copy of the chiral higher-spin theory. It is a Lorentz invariant theory with the little group spectrum given by the tensor square of the chiral higher-spin theory spectrum. Moreover, its interactions factorise in…
