We propose actions for non-linear sigma models on cosets $G/H$ in 2+1 dimensions that include the most general non-linear realizations of Chern-Simons terms. When $G$ is simply connected and $H$ contains $r$ commuting U(1) factors, there…

In a clean Fermi liquid, due to spin up/spin down symmetry, the dc spin current driven by a magnetic field gradient is finite even in the absence of impurities. Hence, the spin conductivity sigma_s assumes a well-defined collision-dominated…
