Chiral Gauge Anomalies on Noncommutative Minkowski Space - time
Chiral gauge anomalies on noncommutative Minkowski Space-time are computed and have their origin elucidated. The consistent form and the covariant form of the anomaly are obtained. Both Fujikawa's method and Feynman diagram techniques are used to carry out the calculations. 1 Written version of the invited lecture given at the Euroconference " Brane New World and Noncommutative Geometry " , Vil...
متن کاملChiral kinetic theory.
We derive the nonequilibrium kinetic equation describing the motion of chiral massless particles in the regime where it can be considered classically. We show that the Berry monopole which appears at the origin of the momentum space due to level crossing is responsible for the chiral magnetic and vortical effects.
متن کاملGlobal anomalies in Chiral Lattice Gauge Theory
As first realized by Witten an SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a single Weyl fermion suffers from a global anomaly. This problem is addressed here in the context of the recent developments on chiral gauge theories on the lattice. We find Witten’s anomaly manifests in the impossibility of defining globally a fermion measure that reproduces the proper continuum limit. Moreover, following Witten’s o...
متن کاملConsistent Chiral Kinetic Theory in Weyl Materials: Chiral Magnetic Plasmons.
We argue that the correct definition of the electric current in the chiral kinetic theory for Weyl materials should include the Chern-Simons contribution that makes the theory consistent with the local conservation of the electric charge in electromagnetic and strain-induced pseudoelectromagnetic fields. By making use of such a kinetic theory, we study the plasma frequencies of collective modes...
متن کاملLorentz invariance in chiral kinetic theory.
We show that Lorentz invariance is realized nontrivially in the classical action of a massless spin-1/2 particle with definite helicity. We find that the ordinary Lorentz transformation is modified by a shift orthogonal to the boost vector and the particle momentum. The shift ensures angular momentum conservation in particle collisions and implies a nonlocality of the collision term in the Lore...
