We discuss chiral magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) which serves as a low-energy effective theory of the chiral matter in the presence of a finite chirality imbalance and dynamical magnetic field [1]. It may have applications not only to relativistic heavy-ion collisions but also condensed matter physics and astrophysics. Based on our derivative expansion for the chiral MHD and the second law of...

Two important goals of the Beam Energy Scan program are the searches for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) and the QCD critical point(s). Since dynamic critical phenomena of a system generally depends on low-energy gapless modes, it is a priori nontrivial whether the collective gapless mode called the chiral magnetic wave (CMW) that stems from CME affects the dynamic critical phenomena in QCD....

By starting from the chiral kinetic theory in the relaxation-time approximation, an Israel-Stewart type formulation of the hydrodynamic equations for a chiral relativistic plasma is derived. By making use of the corresponding framework of dissipative chiral hydrodynamics, a range of various types of collective modes are studied.
