Chiral anomaly induces a family of macroscopic quantum behaviors, including the chiral magnetic effect (CME). The application of these effects covers systems of enormous varieties and scales, ranging from the structure of primordial magnetic field in the early universe to charged particle correlation in heavy-ion collisions and negative magnetoresistivity in the newly discovered Weyl semimetal.
In this talk, I’ll present some recent results on transport phenomena in hydrodynamic induced by anomaly, especially when electrodynamic fields are dynamical. The framework to describe those effects is called chiral magnetohydrodynamics (CMHD). I’ll explain how this hydrodynamic framework is constructed, and describe its collective modes which can be dramatically different from those in ordinary hydrodynamics.
