We discuss the linear hydrodynamic response of a two-dimensional active chiral compressible fluid with odd viscosity. The viscosity coefficient represents broken time-reversal and parity symmetries in the 2D fluid and characterizes the…
We have recently undergone an analysis of gravitational theories as defined in first order formalism, where the metric and the connection are treated as independent fields. The physical meaning of the connection field has historically been…
Inertial effects play an important role in classical mechanics but have been largely overlooked in quantum mechanics. Nevertheless, the analogy between inertial forces on mass particles and electromagnetic forces on charged particles is not…
We investigate the axial vortical effect in a uniformly rotating sphere subject to finite size. We use MIT boundary condition to limit the boundary of the sphere. For massless fermions inside the sphere, we obtain the exact axial vector…
In Weyl semimetals subjected to torsion, there are two different kinds of chirality: i) the (coordinate-space) shape of the twisted crystal is chiral, and ii) the momentum space contains chiral quasi-particles. Here we construct a general…
Relativistic gravitational anomalies lead to anomalous transport coefficients that can be activated at finite temperature in condensed matter systems with gapless fermions. The chiral vortical effect (CVE) is an anomalous chiral current…
Forced turbulence combined with the effect of rotation and shear flow is studied. In a previous paper [Leprovost and Kim, PRE in press (2008)], we considered the case where the shear and the rotation are perpendicular. Here, we consider the…
When dealing with galactic dynamics, or more specifically, with galactic rotation curves, one basic assumption is always taken: the frame of reference relative to which the rotational velocities are given is assumed to be inertial. In other…
The absorptive chiral metasurface shows evidence of giant nonlinear chiroptical effects, including chiral third harmonic generation, chiral saturated absorption, and chiral reverse saturable absorption. We finally demonstrate proof of…
The chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect enables the detection of chirality as electrical charge signals. It is often studied using a two-terminal circuit geometry where a ferromagnet is connected to a chiral component, and a…
Spin accumulation induced by an electric field in chiral electron system is investigated based on a linear response theory. It is shown that the spin response function has a spatially uniform component due to the chiral angular momentum…

Electrons in graphene follow unconventional trajectories at PN junctions, driven by their pseudospintronic degree of freedom. Significant is the prominent angular dependence of transmission, capturing the chiral nature of the electrons and…
Prior studies have revealed that nonzero odd viscosity is an essential property for chiral active fluids. Here we report that such an odd viscosity also exists in suspensions of non-active or non-externally-driven but chirally-shaped…
The transport properties of non-trivial spin textures are coming under closer scrutiny as the amount of experimental data and theoretical simulations is increasing. To extend the commonly accepted yet simplifying and approximate picture of…
We demonstrate that in a chiral plasma subject to an external magnetic field, the chiral vortical effect can induce a new type of magnetohydrodynamic instability which we refer to as the {\it chiral magnetovortical instability}. This…
A Hall effect due to spin chirality in mesoscopic systems is predicted. We consider a 4-terminal Hall system including local spins with geometry of a vortex domain wall, where strong spin chirality appears near the center of vortex. The…
A novel oscillatory behaviour of the DC conductivity in Weyl semimetals with vacancies has recently been identified, occurring in the absence of external magnetic fields. Here, we argue that this effect has a geometric interpretation in…
We study equilibrium transport properties of massless Dirac fermions at finite temperature and chemical potential in spacetime accompanied by torsion, which in four dimensions couples with Dirac fermions as an axial gauge field. In…
Chiral magnetic states give rise to rich phenomena, from the anomalous Hall effect and the nonlinear electrical current to multiferroics and magnetochiral dichroism. Most of the studies on electrical transport so far have focused on the…
