Chiral Anomaly from Strain-Induced Gauge Fields in Dirac and Weyl Semimetals
Dirac and Weyl semimetals form an ideal platform for testing ideas developed in high-energy physics to describe massless relativistic particles. One such quintessentially field-theoretic idea of the chiral anomaly already resulted in the prediction and ...

Fate of Quantum Anomalies for 1d lattice chiral fermion with a simple non-Hermitian Hamiltonian
It is generally believed that the 1+1D model for a single chiral fermion does not exist by itself alone on lattice. The obstruction to such a lattice realization is the failure to reproduce the quantum anomalies of a chiral fermion in continuum.

Chiral Anomalies and Differential Geometry [PDF]
Some properties of chiral anomalies are described from a geometric point of view. Topics include chiral anomalies and differential forms, transformation properties of the anomalies, identification and use of the anomalies, and normalization of the anomalies. 22 references. (WHK)

Direct Evidence of Topological Dirac Fermions in a Low Carrier Density Correlated 5d Oxide
The 5d oxide BiRe2O6 is discovered as a low‐carrier‐density topological semimetal hosting symmetry‐protected Dirac fermions stabilized by nonsymmorphic symmetries. Angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy, quantum oscillations, and magnetotransport measurements reveal gapless Dirac cones, quasi‐2D Fermi surfaces, high carrier mobility, and a field ...

Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model in a parallel electromagnetic field
We explore the features of the UA(1) and chiral symmetry breaking of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model without the Kobayashi–Maskawa–'t Hooft determinant term in the presence of a parallel electromagnetic field. We show that the electromagnetic chiral anomaly

DMRG study of the higher-charge Schwinger model and its ’t Hooft anomaly
The charge-q Schwinger model is the (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED) with a charge-q Dirac fermion. It has the ℤ q 1-form symmetry and also enjoys the ℤ q chiral symmetry in the chiral limit, and there is a mixed ’t Hooft anomaly between

Chiral anomaly trapped in Weyl metals: Nonequilibrium valley polarization at zero magnetic field
In Weyl semimetals the application of parallel electric and magnetic fields leads to valley polarization -- an occupation disbalance of valleys of opposite chirality -- a direct consequence of the chiral anomaly.

Gravitational F-terms of N=1 Supersymmetric SU(N) Gauge Theories
We use the generalized Konishi anomaly equations and R-symmetry anomaly to compute the exact perturbative and non-perturbative gravitational F-terms of four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. We formulate the general procedure for computation

Topological responses from chiral anomaly in multi-Weyl semimetals [PDF]
Multi-Weyl semimetals are a kind of topological phase of matter with discrete Weyl nodes characterized by multiple monopole charges, in which the chiral anomaly, the anomalous nonconservation of an axial current, occurs in the presence of electric and ...

Chiral anomaly and Schwinger effect in non-abelian gauge theories [PDF]
We study the production of chiral fermions in a background of a strong non-abelian gauge field with a non-vanishing Chern-Pontryagin density. We discuss both pair production analogous to the Schwinger effect as well as asymmetric production through the ...
