Chiral anomaly, Berry phase, and chiral kinetic theory from worldlines in quantum field theory

Journal Article Mueller, Niklas ; Venugopalan, Raju - Physical Review D

Here, we outline a novel chiral kinetic theory framework for systematic computations of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The real part of the fermion determinant in the QCD effective action is expressed as a supersymmetric world-line action of spinning, colored, Grassmanian point particles in background gauge fields, with equations of motion that are covariant generalizations of the Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi and Wong equations. Berry’s phase is obtained in a consistent non-relativistic adiabatic limit. The chiral anomaly, in contrast, arises from the phase of the fermion determinant; its topological properties are therefore distinct from those of the Berry phase.more »« less

Consistent relativistic chiral kinetic theory: A derivation from on-shell effective field theory

Journal Article Carignano, Stefano ; Manuel, Cristina ; Torres-Rincon, Juan M. - Physical Review D

We formulate the on-shell effective field theory (OSEFT) in an arbitrary frame and study its reparametrization invariance, which ensures that it respects Lorentz symmetry. In this formulation, the OSEFT Lagrangian looks formally equivalent to the sum over lightlike velocities of soft collinear effective field theory in the Abelian limit, but differences remain in the scale of the gauge fields involved in the two effective theories. We then use the OSEFT Lagrangian expanded in inverse powers of the on-shell energy to derive how the classical transport equations for charged massless fermions are corrected by quantum effects, as derived from quantum fieldmore »« less

Chiral kinetic theory of anomalous transport induced by torsion

Journal Article Gao, Lan-Lan ; Kaushik, Sahal ; Kharzeev, Dmitri E. ; ... - Physical Review B

In Weyl semimetals subjected to torsion, there are two different kinds of chirality: (i) The (coordinate-space) shape of the twisted crystal is chiral and (ii) the momentum space contains chiral quasiparticles. Here we construct a general kinetic theory of anomalous transport using the phase space (coordinate and momentum spaces combined) Berry curvature induced by torsion in Weyl systems. We describe how torsion generates the chiral chemical potential and thus leads to the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in the presence of a background magnetic field. We propose to measure the CME current induced by the torsion as a way to detectmore »« less
