英文摘要：

We study the thermodynamics of helical matter, namely quark matter in which a net helicity, $n_H$, is in equilibrium. Interactions are modeled by the renormalized quark-meson model with two flavors of quarks. Helical density is described within the grand-canonical ensemble formalism via a chemical potential, $μ_H$. We study the transitions from the normal quark matter and hadron gas to the helical matter, drawing the phase diagram at zero temperature. We study the restoration of chiral symmetry at finite temperature and show that the net helical density softens the transition, moving the critical endpoint to lower temperature and higher baryon chemical potential. Finally, we discuss briefly the effect of a rigid rotation on the helical matter, in particular on the fluctuations of $n_H$, and show that these are enhanced by the rotation.

Hyperon--anti-hyperon polarization asymmetry in relativistic heavy-ion collisions as an interplay between chiral and helical vortical effects

We argue that the enhancement in the spin polarization of anti-hyperons compared to the polarization of the hyperons in noncentral relativistic heavy-ion collisions arises as a result of an interplay between the chiral and helical vortical effects. The chiral vortical effect generates the axial current of quarks along the vorticity axis while the recently found helical vortical effect generates the helicity flow -- the projection of the quark's polarization vector onto its momentum -- along the same axis. For massless fermions, the helical charge corresponds to a difference in the contribution…

Chiral transport of neutrinos in supernovae: Neutrino-induced fluid helicity and helical plasma instability

Chirality of neutrinos modifies the conventional kinetic theory and hydrodynamics, leading to unusual chiral transport related to quantum anomalies in field theory. We argue that these corrections have new phenomenological consequences for hot and dense neutrino gases, especially in core-collapse supernovae. We find that the neutrino density can be converted to the fluid helicity through the chiral vortical effect. This fluid helicity effectively acts as a chiral chemical potential for electrons via the momentum exchange with neutrinos and induces a "helical plasma instability" that generates …

Phase diagram of helically imbalanced QCD matter

We discuss the influence of a helicity imbalance on the phase diagram of dense QCD at finite temperature. We argue that the helical chemical potential is a thermodynamically relevant quantity in theories with the mass gap generation. Using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks, we show that the presence of the helical density substantially affects the phase diagram of dense quark matter. A moderate helical density makes the chiral phase transition softer while shifting the critical endpoint towards lower temperatures and higher baryon chemical potentials. As the helical density increases, t…

Helical magnetic effect and the chiral anomaly

In the presence of the fluid helicity $\boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbolω$, the magnetic field induces an electric current of the form $\boldsymbol{j} = C_{\rm HME} (\boldsymbol{v} \cdot \boldsymbolω) \boldsymbol{B}$. This is the helical magnetic effect (HME). We show that for massless Dirac fermions with charge $e=1$, the transport coefficient $C_{\rm HME}$ is fixed by the chiral anomaly coefficient $C=1/(2π^2)$ as $C_{\rm HME} = C/2$ independently of interactions. We show the conjecture that the coefficient of the magnetovorticity coupling for the local vector charge, $n = C_{B ω} \boldsymbol…

Chiral Gravitational Waves Produced in a Helical Magnetogenesis Model

We investigate the gravitational wave production induced by the primordial magnetic fields in a parity-violating magnetogenesis model. It is shown that the gravitational waves detectable by LISA, DECIGO or BBO and the magnetic fields strong enough to explain the blazar observation can be simultaneously produced. The magnetic fields and the gravitational waves have the same chirality and their amplitudes are related, which may also be tested by future observations.

Cosmological Helical Hypermagnetic Fields and Baryogenesis

Recent gamma-ray observations of TeV blazars exhibits the deficits of the secondary GeV cascade photons. This suggests the existence of the intergalactic magnetic fields, which may have a primordial origin. One of the mechanisms that can produce primordial magnetic fields is so-called the chiral plasma instability, where the (hyper) magnetic fields are destabilized when a large chiral asymmetry exists in the high-temperature plasma in the early Universe. We argue that such a large chiral asymmetry can be produced through the GUT baryogenesis. Note that the chiral asymmetry is a good conserved …

Return of the grand unified theory baryogenesis: Source of helical hypermagnetic fields for the baryon asymmetry of the universe

It has been considered that baryogenesis models without a generation of $B$-$L$ asymmetry such as the GUT baryogenesis do not work since the asymmetry is washed out by the electroweak sphalerons. Here, we point out that helical hypermagnetic fields can be generated through the chiral magnetic effect with a chiral asymmetry generated in such baryogenesis models. The helical hypermagnetic fields then produce baryon asymmetry mainly at the electroweak symmetry breaking, which remains until today. Therefore, the baryogenesis models without $B$-$L$ asymmetry can still be the origin of the present b…

Gauge Field and Fermion Production during Axion Inflation

We study the dual production of helical Abelian gauge fields and chiral fermions through the Chern-Simons (CS) coupling with a pseudo-scalar inflaton in the presence of a chiral anomaly. Through the CS term, the motion of the inflaton induces a tachyonic instability for one of the two helicities of the gauge field. We show that the resulting helical gauge field necessarily leads to the production of chiral fermions by deforming their Fermi sphere into discrete Landau levels. The population of the lowest Landau level leads to a chiral asymmetry as inferred from the chiral anomaly, while the hig…

Generation of chiral asymmetry via helical magnetic fields

It is well known that helical magnetic fields undergo a so-called inverse cascade by which their correlation length grows due to the conservation of magnetic helicity in classical ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). At high energies above approximately $10$ MeV, however, classical MHD is necessarily extended to chiral MHD and then the conserved quantity is $\langle\mathcal{H}\rangle + 2 \langleμ_5\rangle / λ$ with $\langle\mathcal{H}\rangle$ being the mean magnetic helicity and $\langleμ_5\rangle$ being the mean chiral chemical potential of charged fermions. Here, $λ$ is a (phenomenological) chi…

Magnetic fields and chiral asymmetry in the early hot universe

In this paper, we study analytically the process of external generation and subsequent free evolution of the lepton chiral asymmetry and helical magnetic fields in the early hot universe. This process is known to be affected by the Abelian anomaly of the electroweak gauge interactions. As a consequence, chiral asymmetry in the fermion distribution generates magnetic fields of non-zero helicity, and vice versa. We take into account the presence of thermal bath, which serves as a seed for the development of instability in magnetic field in the presence of externally generated lepton chiral asymm…
