This review provides a comprehensive summary of results on the physics of strongly
interacting matter in the presence of background electromagnetic fields, obtained via …

Time crystals are time-periodic self-organized structures postulated by Frank Wilczek in
2012. While the original concept was strongly criticized, it stimulated at the same time an …

We provide a pedagogical review article on fundamentals and applications of the quantum
dynamics in strong electromagnetic fields in QED and QCD. The fundamentals include the …

Chiral anomalies give rise to dissipationless transport phenomena such as the chiral
magnetic and vortical effects. In these notes I review the theory from a quantum field …

The hot and dense matter generated in heavy-ion collisions may contain domains which are
not invariant under P and CP transformations. Moreover, heavy-ion collisions can generate …

The microscopic quantum nature of elementary particles, chirality, leads to macroscopic
phenomena like the chiral anomaly, chiral magnetic effect, and chiral plasma instability. We …

The relation between thermal transport and gravity was highlighted in the seminal work by
Luttinger in 1964, and has been extensively developed to understand thermal transport …

The current density j B induced in a clean metal by a slowly-varying magnetic field B is
formulated as the low-frequency limit of natural optical activity, or natural gyrotropy. Working …

The relativistic heavy-ion collisions create both hot quark–gluon matter and strong magnetic
fields, and provide an arena to study the interplay between quantum chromodynamics and …

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a collective quantum phenomenon that arises from the
interplay between gauge field topology and fermion chiral anomaly, encompassing a wide …
