We discuss scalar mesons properties on the light of chiral dynamics. Considering them as the chiral partners of pseudo-scalar mesons we propose an explanation to their unusual properties based on non-trivial vacuum effects coming from the…
We study an inertial chiral active fluid, formed by repulsive particles that transfer angular momentum through odd interactions, i.e. transverse forces. Chirality induces an inhomogeneous phase, consisting of rotating bubbles, whose…
We revisit the chiral anomaly in the quantum kinetic theory in the Wigner function formalism under the background field approximation. Our results show that the chiral anomaly is actually from the Dirac sea or the vacuum contribution in the…
In this study, we first heuristically construct the charges corresponding to the chiral transformation associated with the large U(1) gauge symmetry. We refer to these as the large chiral charges, and to the chiral transformation they…
We derive an effective action for charged plasmas with an anomalous (abelian) global current charge current using holography. The holographic description is captured by the dynamics of an Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in an…
A detailed analysis of anomalous U(1)'s and their effective couplings is performed both in field theory and string theory. It is motivated by the possible relevance of such couplings in particle physics, as well as a potential signal…
We derive some exact results concerning the anomalous U(1)$_A$ symmetry in the chirally symmetric phase of QCD at high temperature. We discuss the importance of topology and finite-volume effects on the U(1)$_A$ symmetry violation…
We investigate the chiral anomaly in a Floquet system under a time-periodic electric field in (1+1) dimensions. Using the van~Vleck high-frequency expansion, we analytically calculate the chiral current and the pseudo-scalar condensate for…
The chiral U(1) anomalies associated with a fermion of spin 1/2 interacting with nonabelian vector and axial-vector fields in four- and six-dimensional curved space are given in tensorial form.
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature. We expect that, above a certain critical temperature, also the U(1) axial symmetry will be (effectively) restored. We will try to see if…
We consider the experimental implications of the axial current triangle diagram anomaly in a hydrodynamic description of high density QCD. We propose a signal of an enhanced production of spin-excited hadrons in the direction of the…
We present a general hydrodynamic theory for active fluids, capable of describing living matter, that conserve center of mass or dipole moment. Imposition of dipole or center-of-mass conservation has been reported to yield peculiar…
We formulate a comprehensive hydrodynamic theory of two-dimensional liquid crystals with generic $p-$fold rotational symmetry, also known as $p-$atics, of which mematics $(p=2)$ and hexatics $(p=6)$ are the two best known examples. Previous…
In this paper we review recent progress on relativistic hydrodynamics in (2 + 1)-dimensions with an external magnetic field. We discuss the formalism allowing for momentum loss due to the explicit and spontaneous breaking of translation…
Under partial confinement, the motion of colloidal particles is restricted to a plane but their dynamics is influenced by hydrodynamic interactions mediated by the unconfined, three--dimensional flow of the embedding fluid. We demonstrate…
We have developed a theory of the anomalous Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas in the case where the time of electron-electron collisions is much smaller than the transport relaxation time. The transition between the diffusion…
Using the anomaly inflow mechanism, we compute the flavor/Lorentz non-invariant contribution to the partition function in a background with a U(1) isometry. This contribution is a local functional of the background fields. By identifying…
We investigate the behavior of a one-dimensional diatomic fluid under a shock wave excitation. We find that the properties of the resulting shock wave are in striking contrast with those predicted by hydrodynamic and kinetic approaches,…
Quantum anomalies are one of the subtlest properties of relativistic field theories. They give rise to non-dissipative transport coefficients in the hydrodynamic expansion. In particular a magnetic field can induce an anomalous current via…
We study entanglement entropy in theories with gravitational or mixed U(1) gauge-gravitational anomalies in two, four and six dimensions. In such theories there is an anomaly in the entanglement entropy: it depends on the choice of…
