Description
Sharing and transfer of chirality between gauge fields and fermion plays a crucial role for understanding the dynamics of anomalous transport phenomena such as the Chiral Megnetic Effect. We present a first principles study of the chirality transfer between gauge fields and fermions based on classical-statistical real-time lattice simulations. We demonstrate that a chirality imbalance in the fermion sector triggers plasma instabilities in the gauge field sector, which ultimately lead to the emergence of turbulent behavior characterized by a self-similar infrared cascade of magnetic helicity. We comment on the differences between abelian and non-abelian gauge theories, and discuss consequences for modeling anomalous transport phenomena in heavy-ion collisions
