Electromagnetic fields and anomalous transports in heavy-ion collisions --- A pedagogical review
read the original abstract
The hot and dense matter generated in heavy-ion collisions may contain domains which are not invariant under P and CP transformations. Moreover, heavy-ion collisions can generate extremely strong magnetic fields as well as electric fields. The interplay between the electromagnetic field and triangle anomaly leads to a number of macroscopic quantum phenomena in these P- and CP-odd domains known as the anomalous transports. The purpose of the article is to give a pedagogical review of various properties of the electromagnetic fields, the anomalous transports phenomena, and their experimental signatures in heavy-ion collisions.

Mass spectra of charged mesons and the quenching of vector meson condensation via exact phase-space diagonalization
In the NJL model with exact phase-space diagonalization, magnetic catalysis of the chiral condensate quenches the tachyonic instability of the spin-aligned rho+ by driving the 2M threshold above the Zeeman-lowered mas...

Relativistic Barnett effect and Curie law in a rigidly rotating free Fermi gas
In a rigidly rotating free Fermi gas, the relativistic Barnett effect produces different Fermi energies for spin-up and spin-down fermions, leading to a moment of inertia that scales as 1/T at high temperature, analog...

Chiral Magnetic effect as the anomaly in the transverse axial vector Ward Identity
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.
