Misha Stephanov (UIC)28/09/2015, 11:15New Theoretical DevelopmentsContributed talkA significant body of recent research is aimed towards understanding the anomalous parity-odd response of chiral media, such as chiral magnetic and vortical effects, with applications to heavy-ion collisions and Dirac semimetals. Remarkable progress has been achieved in the non-equilibrium kinetic approach to such phenomena. The chiral kinetic theory features novel properties implementing...Go to contribution page

Andrey Sadofyev (Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (US))28/09/2015, 11:35New Theoretical DevelopmentsContributed talkWe provide a holographic evaluation of novel contributions to the drag force acting on a heavy quark moving through strongly interacting plasma. The new contributions are chiral in that they act in opposite directions in plasmas containing an excess of left- or right-handed quarks and in that they are proportional to the coefficient of the axial anomaly. These new contributions to the drag...Go to contribution page

Azwinndini Muronga (University of Johannesburg)28/09/2015, 11:55New Theoretical DevelopmentsContributed talkThe development of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics is a very important scientific achievement of the last two decades. It has inspired many authors to apply its methodology to lots of possible applications in physical problems. For example it allows to derive hydrodynamical like equations for relativistic heavy-ion collisions, astrophysics, cosmology and plasma physics. So far a...Go to contribution page

Xu-Guang Huang (Fudan University)28/09/2015, 12:15New Theoretical DevelopmentsContributed talkChiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is a phenomenon that for systems with chiral fermions, in the presence of external magnetic field and chirality imbalance, a charge current is generated along the magnetic field direction. The CME predicts that for quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in relativistic heavy ion collisions, there would be a charge separation perpendicular to the collisional reaction...Go to contribution page

Kenji Fukushima (The University of Tokyo)28/09/2015, 12:35New Theoretical DevelopmentsContributed talkThe chirally anomalous transport including the chiral magnetic effect seems to get established from the theoretical side, but some theorists address serious concerns about the physical interpretation of $\langle\Omega|\boldsymbol{j}|\Omega\rangle$. In my talk I will emphasize how the conventional scenario can be verified from the dynamical process of the particle production. If...Go to contribution page
