By studying the Euclidean partition function on a cone, we argue that pure and mixed gravitational anomalies generate a "Casimir momentum" which manifests itself as parity violating coefficients in the hydrodynamic stress tensor and charge current. The coefficients generated by these anomalies enter at a lower order in the hydrodynamic gradient expansion than would be naively expected. In 1+1 dimensions, the gravitational anomaly affects coefficients at zeroth order in the gradient expansion. The mixed anomaly in 3+1 dimensions controls the value of coefficients at first order in the gradient expansion.

  1. Anomalous resonance in Weyl semimetals: A holographic study of non-linear effects

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fully back-reacted holographic simulations show nonlinear corrections to anomalously long-lived current oscillations are tiny, so decay rates can be made arbitrarily small at low temperature.

  2. Anomalous Bulk Current in Quantum Hall Systems with an Expanding Edge

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a quantum Hall system with an expanding edge, the authors show the edge carries a covariant gravitational anomaly and the bulk carries an equal and opposite integrated energy flux.
