Title: Axial current generation by P-odd domains in QCD matter

Abstract

The dynamics of topological domains which break parity (P) and charge-parity (CP) symmetry of QCD are studied. We derive in a general setting that those local domains will generate an axial current and quantify the strength of the induced axial current. Thus, our findings are verified in a top-down holographic model. The relation between the real time dynamics of those local domains and the chiral magnetic field is also elucidated. We finally argue that such an induced axial current would be phenomenologically important in a heavy-ion collisions experiment.

Topologically induced local P and CP violation in hot QCD

Conference Kharzeev, D E

Very stringent experimental bounds exist on the amount of P and CP violation in strong interactions. Nevertheless, the presence of non-Abelian topological solutions and the axial anomaly make the issue of CP invariance in QCD non-trivial ('the strong CP problem'). Even in the absence of a global P and CP violation the fluctuations of topological charge in the QCD vacuum are expected to play an important role in the breaking of chiral symmetry, and in the mass spectrum and other properties of hadrons. Here I argue that topological fluctuations in hot QCD matter can become directly observable in the presencemore »« less

Spacetime dynamics of chiral magnetic currents in a hot non-Abelian plasma

Journal Article Grieninger, Sebastian ; Kharzeev, Dmitri E. - Physical Review. D.

The correlations of electric currents in hot non-Abelian plasma are responsible for the experimental manifestations of the chiral magnetic effect in heavy-ion collisions. We evaluate these correlations using holography, and show that they are driven by large-scale topological fluctuations. In a non-Abelian plasma with chiral fermions, local axial charge can be generated either by topological fluctuations (creating domains with nonzero Chern-Simons number) or by thermal fluctuations. Within holography, we investigate the dynamical creation of the axial charge and isolate the imprint of the topological dynamics on the spatial correlations of electric current. In particular, we show that the spatial extentmore »« less

Impact of domain walls on the chiral magnetic effect in hot QCD matter

Journal Article Tuchin, Kirill - Physical Review C

The chiral magnetic effect (CME)—the separation of positive and negative electric charges along the direction of the external magnetic field in quark-gluon plasma and other topologically nontrivial media—is a consequence of the coupling of electrodynamics to the topological gluon field fluctuations that form metastable $CP$-odd domains. In phenomenological models it is usually assumed that the domains are uniform and the influence of the domain walls on the electric current flow is not essential. This article challenges the latter assumption. A simple model consisting of a uniform spherical domain in a uniform time-dependent magnetic field is introduced and analytically solved. Itmore »« less

Brane-induced Skyrmion on S{sup 3}: Baryonic matter in holographic QCD

Journal Article Nawa, Kanabu ; Suganuma, Hideo ; Kojo, Toru ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study baryonic matter in holographic QCD with D4/D8/D8 multi-D brane system in type IIA superstring theory. The baryon is described as the 'brane-induced Skyrmion', which is a topologically nontrivial chiral soliton in the four-dimensional meson effective action induced by holographic QCD. We employ the ''truncated-resonance model'' approach for the baryon analysis, including pion and {rho} meson fields below the ultraviolet cutoff scale M{sub KK}{approx}1 GeV, to keep the holographic duality with QCD. We describe the baryonic matter in large N{sub c} as single brane-induced Skyrmion on the three-dimensional closed manifold S{sup 3} with finite radius R. The interactions betweenmore »« less
