We demonstrate that in an ideal Weyl semimetal, in which the Fermi energy coincides with the band-touching nodes, weak direct inter-nodal scattering is irrelevant and, as a result, the chiral charge is (almost) exactly conserved. This leads…
We propose general relations between the conformal anomaly and the chiral (R-symmetry and gravitational) anomaly coefficients in 6d (1,0) superconformal theories. The suggested expressions for the three type B conformal anomaly…
We study transport in a class of physical systems possessing two conserved chiral charges. We describe a relation between universality of transport properties of such systems and the chiral anomaly. We show that the non-vanishing of a…
Chiral anomaly (CA), a hallmark of Weyl fermions, has emerged as a cornerstone of condensed matter physics following the discovery of Weyl semimetals. While the anomaly in pseudospin-1/2 (Weyl) systems is well-established, its extension to…
Chiral anomaly induced negative magnetoresistance (NMR) has been widely used as a critical transport evidence on the existence of Weyl fermions in topological semimetals. In this mini review, we discuss the general observation of the NMR…
Using the gauge-gravity duality, we construct the anisotropic D3/D7 approach as a three-dimensional QCD-like theory, then investigate systematically the hadronic mass spectra, the dragging terms and the lowest hadronic interactions in the…
It is at the heart of modern condensed matter physics to investigate the role of a topological structure in anomalous transport phenomena. In particular, chiral anomaly turns out to be the underlying mechanism for the negative longitudinal…
We construct a family of chiral anomaly-free supergravity theories in D=6 starting from D=7 supergravity with a gauged noncompact R-symmetry, employing a Horava-Witten bulk-plus-boundary construction. The gauged noncompact R-symmetry yields…
We consider a holographic Einstein-Maxwell model in five dimensions with pure gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons terms to study anomaly-induced transport in the presence of explicit symmetry breaking. We include the full…
We discuss the effect of chiral anomaly as a possible mechanism for triggering formation of domains of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The anomalous $\pi^0 \to 2 \gamma$ coupling and the strong,…
Quantum anomalies give rise to new transport phenomena. In particular a magnetic field can induce an anomalous current via the chiral magnetic effect and a vortex in the relativistic fluid can also induce a current via the chiral vortical…
We study higher order corrections to the radius/M2-brane charge of AdS_4 x S^7/Z_k. There are two sources of corrections: one from the orbifold singularity of C^4/Z_k, and the other from the discrete torsion associated with the homology…
Recently discovered Dirac and Weyl semimetals display unusual magnetoresistance phenomena, including a large, non-saturating, linear transverse magnetoresistance and a negative longitudinal magnetoresistance. The latter is often considered…
When M-theory is compactified on G_2-holonomy manifolds with conical singularities, charged chiral fermions are present and the low-energy four-dimensional theory is potentially anomalous. We reconsider the issue of anomaly cancellation,…
In a multiphase transport model with the initial electric quadrupole moment, we studied and discussed the charge asymmetry ($A_{\rm ch}$) dependence of flow at varied kinematic windows in semi-central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$…
A systematic study of chiral effects is presented using an Effective Field Theory framework. By integrating out a massive Dirac fermion at finite temperature in presence of vector and axial background fields, the currents and their…
The anomalous spin transport coefficients of gapped Dirac electrons are studied with application to a quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor $\alpha$-(BETS)$_2$I$_3$ in mind. In the presence of a gap induced by spin-orbit interaction, we…
Dynamics of D3-branes in models of warped D3-D7 inflationary set up is studied where perturbative $\alpha'$ correction to the K\"ahler potential and the nonperturbative corrections to the superpotential are included. It is shown that a dS…
In this paper we continue studying the modification of the axial charge in chiral media by macroscopic helicities. Recently it was shown that magnetic reconnections result in a persistent current of zero mode along flux tubes. Here we argue…
The charges of the exceptionally twisted (D4 with triality and E6 with charge conjugation) D-branes of WZW models are determined from the microscopic/CFT point of view. The branes are labeled by twisted representations of the affine…
