DESCRIPTION:In 3+1 dimensions\, a net chirality (an excess of left-handed 
 fermions\, for example) in the presence of a magnetic field can give rise 
 to a current parallel to the magnetic field. This is the chiral magnetic e
 ffect (CME). In heavy ion collisions such as those at the Relativistic Hea
 vy Ion Collider\, a quark gluon plasma is created that\, under the right c
 ircumstances\, may experience large magnetic fields and a net chirality\, 
 raising the possibility that the CME may occur. Experimental searches are 
 currently underway to detect the CME in heavy-ion collisions. The burden i
 s on theorists to produce a prediction for the magnitude of the CME. Given
  that the degrees of freedom involved are strongly interacting\, theorists
  have few reliable techniques to calculate the CME. In this talk I will di
 scuss an analysis of the CME using gauge-gravity duality. I will present a
  specific model\, discuss how we compute the CME in that model\, and prese
 nt novel results for the dependence of the CME on the masses of quarks.\n\
