Description

Quantum anomalies give rise to novel transport phenomena, including the generation of a current in a relativistic fluid due to the presence of magnetic field or vorticity. I will present an exclusive and direct computation of the chiral anomaly within the path integral for a massless fermion on a generic electromagnetic and curved background, including local temperature and chemical potential. I will identify new thermodynamical contributions to the anomaly which induce the Chiral Separation and Vortical Effects. Additionally, I will show that the anomaly fully vanishes at global equilibrium.
