A kinetic theory can be modified to incorporate triangle anomalies and the chiral magnetic effect by taking into account the Berry curvature flux through the Fermi surface. We show how such a kinetic theory can be derived from underlying quantum field theories. Using the new kinetic theory, we also compute the parity-odd correlation function that is found to be identical to the result in the perturbation theory in the next-to-leading order hard dense loop approximation.

  1. Spin Hall effect and Berry curvature of gravitons from quantum field theory

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Gravitons show a helicity-dependent spin Hall effect from Berry curvature, producing an energy Hall current splitting exactly twice as large as the photon case.

  2. Quantum Metric Corrections to Liouville's Theorem and Chiral Kinetic Theory

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantum metric induces O(ħ²) corrections to phase-space density of states, modifying Liouville's theorem and providing a nonlinear chiral kinetic theory consistent with QFT for chiral fermions in inhomogeneous fields.
