The evolution of warped disks is governed by internal, oscillatory shear flows driven by their distorted geometry. However, these flows are known to be vigorously unstable to a hydrodynamic parametric instability. In many warped systems,…
About eight years ago it was predicted theoretically that a charged chiral plasma could support the propagation of the so-called chiral magnetic waves, which are driven by the anomalous chiral magnetic and chiral separation effects. This…
The prerequisite of the chiral magnetic effect is the existence of net chiral charge in the quark gluon plasma (QGP). If we assume the quarks and anti-quarks contribute equally to the net chiral charge, the CME will induce a flow of the…
Magnetic anisotropy is one of the important factors in determining magnetic structures. A type of magnetic anisotropy is closely related to the symmetry of crystals. We theoretically investigate magnetic anisotropy and its related magnetic…

We show that, under Braginskii magneto-hydrodynamics, anti-parallel gradients in average ion charge state and electron temperature can be unstable to the growth of self-generated magnetic fields. The instability is analogous to the…
A singular configuration of external static magnetic field in the form of a pointlike vortex polarizes the vacuum of quantized massless spinor field in 2+1-dimensional space-time. This results in an analogue of the Bohm-Aharonov effect: the…

Magnetic phenomena are in chemistry and condensed matter physics considered to be associated with low temperatures. That a magnetic state, or order, is stable below a critical temperature as well as becoming stronger the lower the…
We study the turbulent regime of chiral (magneto)hydrodynamics for charged and neutral matter with chirality imbalance. We find that the chiral magnetohydrodynamics for charged plasmas possesses a unique scaling symmetry, only without fluid…
The electromagnetic modes possibly unstable in strongly magnetized plasmas are identified. The regime where this instability might stand out compared to the incoherent electron-cyclotron radiation is explored. These modes are relevant to…

In the presence of a chemical potential, the effect of a magnetic field on chiral symmetry breaking goes beyond the well-known magnetic catalysis. Due to a subtle interplay with the chemical potential, the magnetic field may work not only…
