Title: “Chiral hydrodynamics of plasma in strong magnetic fields”
Abstract:
In this presentation I will motivate and construct the hydrodynamic description of a chiral fermion fluid subject to a strong magnetic field. Such a description can be, for example, applied to the quark-gluon-plasma phase generated in heavy-ion-collisions, or to Weyl semimetals. Kubo formulae are computed which relate 22 transport coefficients to particular correlation functions. Among those transport coefficients, 8 are novel. Known transport coefficients, such as the Hall viscosity and Hall conductivity, are now splitting into two each, one longitudinal and one transverse to the magnetic field. We provide a successful validity check by computing all transport coefficients in a specific holographic model.
