Anomaly-Induced Transport and Thermodynamics

Kristan Jensen

University of Victoria

I will discuss recent progress in the study of anomaly-induced transport, focusing on the chiral vortical effect in 3+1 dimensions. Most of my discussion will be framed in light of a larger story, namely progress in making exact statements about finite-temperature quantum field theory, for which the chiral magnetic and vortical effects are instructive prototypes.
