It is usually believed that physics in off-equilibrium state can be equivalently studied using equilibrium state with suitable metric perturbation. We point out it is not the case for spin polarization phenomena: the exisiting chiral kinetic theory in curved space fails to recover all the couplings between spin and hydrodynamic gradients [1]. We present a new form of chiral kinetic theory in...
Non-central heavy-ion collisions contain large orbital angular momentum ($\sim 10^{3\sim 6} \hbar$) that, at high energies, is expected to induce strong vorticity in the hot bulk fluid and generate global spin polarization of produced particles. As the collision energy $\sqrt{s}$ approaches threshold, the observed global spin polarization should reach a maximum, then drop to zero as...
In this presentation, I revisit the Dirac theory under an external magnetic field and rotation. Motivated by experimental observations of significant vorticities in heavy ion collisions, there has been active exploration into the thermodynamics of rotating QCD matter. While the pure rotational effect has received attention, the interplay between rotation and magnetic fields remains...
We consider macroscopic motion of quantum field systems. The Zubarev statistical operator allows us to describe several types of motion of such systems in thermal equilibrium. We formulate the corresponding effective theory on the language of a functional integral. The effective Lagrangian is calculated explicitly for the fermionic systems interacting with dynamical gauge fields. Possible...
Quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions cools rapidly as the medium evolves. QGP with non-zero conserved charged current, higher thermal conductivity of medium advances in global thermalization. Being made of electrically charged partons, heat current leads to electromagnetic (EM) field induction in the medium, commonly known as the thermoelectric effect....
In the framework of Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model beyond mean field approximation, the effects of pion fluctuations on (inverse) magnetic catalysis and magnetic susceptibility are studied. The negative magnetic susceptibility at low temperature is observed when contributions from both neutral and charged pions are taken into account. In weak field approximation, it is observed that at finite...
Using the imaginary part of the self-energy function in the Landau-level representation, we derive the fermion damping rate in a hot magnetized plasma at the leading order of coupling. The results are used to investigate the longitudinal and transverse electrical conductivities. In the relativistic regime, these conductivities exhibit a scaling behavior expressed in terms of dimensionless...
Magnetic fields of a large intensity can be generated in peripheral high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Although the intensity drops down fast and, moreover, it is not clear whether the fields last long enough to induce a magnetization during the quark-gluon plasma phase, most of the models and simulations predict a significant intensity that lasts up to proper times of order 1 fm after the...
Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is a phenomenon in which electric charge is separated by a strong magnetic field from local domains of chirality imbalance and parity violation in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The CME-sensitive observable, charge-dependent three-particle azimuthal correlator $\Delta\gamma$, is contaminated by a major physics background proportional to the particle elliptic...
