Quantum Kinetic Equation in the Rotating Frame and Chiral Kinetic Theory

Understand

A modified quantum kinetic equation which takes account of the noninertial features of rotating frame is proposed.

• The vector and axial-vector field components of the Wigner function for chiral fluids are worked out in a semiclassical scheme.
• It is demonstrated that the chiral currents and energy-momentum tensor computed by means of them are consistent with the hydrodynamical results.
• A new semiclassical covariant chiral transport equation is established by inspecting the equations satisfied by the chiral vector fields.
