The chiral magnetic effect is the anomaly of the transverse axial vector Ward identity, which enforces a universal conductivity of 1/(2π²) robust against external parameters and interactions.

abstract
We identify a new contribution to the chiral magnetic conductivity at finite frequencies -- the magnetization current. This allows to quantitatively reproduce the known field-theoretic time-dependent (AC) chiral magnetic response in terms of kinetic theory. We evaluate the corresponding AC chiral magnetic conductivity in two flavor QCD plasma at weak coupling. The magnetization current results from the spin response of chiral quasiparticles to magnetic field, and is thus proportional to the quasiparticle's $g$-factor. In condensed matter systems, where the chiral quasi-particles are emergent and the $g$-factor can significantly differ from 2, this opens the possibility to tune the AC chiral magnetic response.
