The meson fields are simulated by quark operators and an effective chiral theory of mesons is presented. There are spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. Theoretical results agree with data well.
We study the dynamical evolution of the so-called chiral magnetic effect in an electromagnetic conductor. To this end, we consider the coupled set of corresponding Maxwell and chiral anomaly equations, and we prove that these can be derived…
We study the expansion dynamics of a quark-antiquark plasma droplet from an initial state with restored chiral symmetry. The calculations are made within the linear $\sigma$ model scaled with an additional scalar field representing the…
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the scalar and pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum of QCD at finite temperature, above the chiral transition at T_c, using a chiral effective Lagrangian model, which, in addition to the usual…
The chiral magnetic wave from the interplay between the chiral magnetic effect and the chiral separation effect is simulated in a box system with the periodic boundary condition based on the chiral kinetic equations of motion. Simulation…
The chiral condensate, which is constant in vacuum, may become spatially modulated at moderately high densities where in the traditional picture of the QCD phase diagram a first-order chiral phase transition occurs. We review the current…
We consider chiral magnetohydrodynamics, i.e. a finite-temperature system where an axial $U(1)$ current is not conserved due to an Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly saturated by the dynamical operator $F_{\mu\nu} \tilde{F}^{\mu\nu}$. We express…
In our recent study of two-flavor lattice QCD using chiral fermions, we find strong suppression of axial U(1) anomaly above the critical temperature of chiral phase transition. Our simulation data also indicate suppression of topological…
We address the issue of evaluating chiral effects (such as the newly discovered chiral separation) in hydrodynamic approximation. The main tool we use is effective theory which defines interaction in terms of chemical potentials…
Two closely related topological phenomena are studied at finite density and temperature. These are chiral anomaly and Chern-Simons term. By using different methods it is shown that $\mu^2 = m^2$ is the crucial point for Chern-Simons at zero…
We present a real-time lattice approach to study the non-equilibrium dynamics of vector and axial charges in $SU(N) \times U(1)$ gauge theories. Based on a classical description of the non-Abelian and Abelian gauge fields, we include…
We argue that the correct definition of the electric current in the chiral kinetic theory for Weyl materials should include the Chern-Simons contribution that makes the theory consistent with the local conservation of the electric charge in…
Dirac and Weyl semimetals form an ideal platform for testing ideas developed in high energy physics to describe massless relativistic particles. One such quintessentially field-theoretic idea of chiral anomaly already resulted in the…
We compute the vacuum energy density as a function of the quark condensate in the interacting instanton liquid model (IILM) and examine the pattern of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking from its behavior around the origin. This evaluation…
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature. In particular, supported by recent lattice results, we analyse a scenario in which a U(1)-breaking condensate survives across the chiral…
The diffusion of micro- and nanoswimmers in a fluid, confined within irregular structures that impose entropic barriers, is often modeled using overdamped active Brownian dynamics, where viscous effects are paramount and inertia is…
We provide a snapshot of recent progress in hadron physics made using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, reviewing the generation of a quark anomalous chromomagnetic moment, which may explain the longstanding puzzle of the $a_1$-$\rho$ mass…
In this note, we study a matrix-regularized version of non-commutative U(1) Chern-Simons theory proposed recently by Polychronakos. We determine a complete minimal basis of exact wavefunctions for the theory at arbitrary level k and rank N…
In the early days of QCD, the axial $U(1)$ anomaly was considered as a trigger for the breaking of the $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$ symmetry through topological excitations of gluon fields. However, it has been a challenge for lattice QCD to…
We show that the hydrodynamics of a perfect fluid admits a natural modification that incorporates a chiral gravitational anomaly (also known as a mixed gauge-gravity anomaly) alongside the chiral current anomaly. This modification…
