A power expansion scheme is set up to determine the Wigner function that satisfies the quantum kinetic equation for spin-1/2 charged fermions in a background electromagnetic field. Vector and axial-vector current induced by magnetic field and vorticity are obtained simultaneously from the Wigner function. The chiral magnetic and vortical effect and chiral anomaly are shown as natural consequences of the quantum kinetic equation. The axial-vector current induced by vorticity is argued to lead to a local polarization effect along the vorticity direction in heavy-ion collisions.

  1. Weyl anomaly induced transport in hydrodynamics

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The Weyl anomaly induces a new non-dissipative current in accelerated fluids that fixes the electromagnetic-acceleration coupling at second order in hydrodynamics.

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

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
