Chiral Effects in Hydrodynamics: New Trends

Abstract

By chiral effects, one understands the manifestations of chiral gauge anomaly and of gravitational chiral anomaly in hydrodynamics. In the last two to three years, our understanding of chiral effects has considerably changed. Here, we present a mini-review of two topics: first, a shift in understanding symmetry, which underlies the chiral magnetic effect and second, the interpretation of the chiral kinematical effect uncovered recently.
