Holographic Anomalous Conductivities and the Chiral Magnetic Effect
read the original abstract
We calculate anomaly induced conductivities from a holographic gauge theory model using Kubo formulas, making a clear conceptual distinction between thermodynamic state variables such as chemical potentials and external background fields. This allows us to pinpoint ambiguities in previous holographic calculations of the chiral magnetic conductivity. We also calculate the corresponding anomalous current three-point functions in special kinematic regimes. We compare the holographic results to weak coupling calculations using both dimensional regularization and cutoff regularization. In order to reproduce the weak coupling results it is necessary to allow for singular holographic gauge field configurations when a chiral chemical potential is introduced for a chiral charge defined through a gauge invariant but non-conserved chiral density. We argue that this is appropriate for actually addressing charge separation due to the chiral magnetic effect.

Chiral Magnetic effect as the anomaly in the transverse axial vector Ward Identity
The chiral magnetic effect is the anomaly of the transverse axial vector Ward identity, which enforces a universal conductivity of 1/(2π²) robust against external parameters and interactions.
