TL;DR: In this article, the chiral magnetic effect of topological charge changing transitions in the quark-gluon plasma has been studied and an electromagnetic current is generated along the magnetic field.
Abstract: Topological charge changing transitions can induce chirality in the quark-gluon plasma by the axial anomaly. We study the equilibrium response of the quark-gluon plasma in such a situation to an external magnetic field. To mimic the effect of the topological charge changing transitions we will introduce a chiral chemical potential. We will show that an electromagnetic current is generated along the magnetic field. This is the chiral magnetic effect. We compute the magnitude of this current as a function of magnetic field, chirality, temperature, and baryon chemical potential.

TL;DR: In this article, the strong interactions of low-lying meson resonances (spin ⩽ 1) with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons ( π, K, η ) are considered to lowest order in the derivative expansion of chiral SU(3).

TL;DR: In this paper, the consequences of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry for the forces among two or more nucleons were derived using phenomenological lagrangians, and the results were used to derive the consequences for the chiral forces among nucleons.

TL;DR: In this article, the classical magnetoresistance of a Weyl metal in which the electron Fermi surface possesses nonzero fluxes of the Berry curvature was considered, and it was shown that such a system may exhibit large negative magnetoreduction with unusual anisotropy as a function of the angle between the electric and magnetic fields.
Abstract: We consider the classical magnetoresistance of a Weyl metal in which the electron Fermi surface possesses nonzero fluxes of the Berry curvature. Such a system may exhibit large negative magnetoresistance with unusual anisotropy as a function of the angle between the electric and magnetic fields. In this case the system can support an additional type of plasma wave. These phenomena are consequences of the chiral anomaly in electron transport theory.
