Description
This talk presents a novel instability in the Chern-Simons (or axionic) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), arising from the spatial inhomogeneity of the axion-like field. In particular, this instability amplifies the Alfven waves in certain regions of spacetime in a way that is clearly parity-violating. The Aflven velocity reaches the speed of light in such regions, but it never exceeds it.
