Non-equilibrium Chiral Magnetic/Vortical Effects in Viscous Fluids

Understand

We utilize the chiral kinetic theory in a relaxation-time approximation to investigate the nonlinear anomalous responses of chiral fluids with viscous effects.

• Unlike the cases in equilibrium, it is found that the chiral magnetic effect and chiral vortical effect are modified by the shear and bulk strengths.
• Particularly, the shear strength could result in charged Hall currents for chiral magnetic and chiral vortical effects, which propagate perpendicular to applied magnetic fields and vorticity.
• These quantum corrections stemming from side jumps and anomalies are dissipative and pertinent to interactions.
