Berry Curvature, Triangle Anomalies, and the Chiral Magnetic Effect in Fermi Liquids
read the original abstract
In a three-dimensional Fermi liquid, quasiparticles near the Fermi surface may possess a Berry curvature. We show that if the Berry curvature has a nonvanishing flux through the Fermi surface, the particle number associated with this Fermi surface has a triangle anomaly in external electromagnetic fields. We show how Landau's Fermi liquid theory should be modified to take into account the Berry curvature. We show that the "chiral magnetic effect" also emerges from the Berry curvature flux.

Quantum Metric and Nonlinear Hall Effect of Photons
Photons possess a quantum metric in momentum space that induces a nonlinear Hall effect for light in inhomogeneous media and nonlinear corrections to gravitational lensing from the interplay of position and momentum s...

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

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.
