Chiral Langevin theory for non-Abelian plasmas

Abstract: Charged plasmas with chirality imbalance are unstable and tend to reduce the imbalance. This chiral plasma instability is, however, not captured in (anomalous) hydrodynamics for high-temperature non-Abelian plasmas. We derive a Langevintype classical effective theory with anomalous parity-violating effects for non-Abelian plasmas that describes the chiral plasma instability at the magnetic scale. We show that the time scale of the instability is of order [g 4 T ln(1/g)] −1 at weak coupling.

“…[70], by going to the next order in time derivatives. It is of the utmost importance to implement the correct value of the chiral magnetic current in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field in any realistic simulation of the chiral magnetic effect (or any other anomaly-induced transport phenomena) in heavy-ion collisions.…”

“…There are a variety of methods to derive Eq. (30) from microscopic quantum field theory [2, 15, 102-104, 115, 117, 119, 120, 136, 137], mesoscopic kinetic theory [138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152], to macroscopic hydrodynamic approach [22,[153][154][155][156][157][158]. Here we pick up one of these derivations given by Fukushima, Kharzeev, and Warringa [115] because it is elementary and easy to see the relation between CME and the lowest Landau level and the axial anomaly.…”
