Chern-Simons current and local parity violation in hot QCD matter
Towards a quantum theory of the chiral magnetic effect
We discuss three possible ways of addressing quantum physics behind chiral magnetic effect and electric charge fluctuation patterns in heavy-ion collisions. The first one makes use of P-parity…
Local strong parity violation and new possibilities in experimental study of non-perturbative QCD
Quark interaction with topologically non-trivial gluonic fields, instantons and sphalerons, violates 𝒫 and 𝒞𝒫 symmetry. In the strong magnetic field of a non-central nuclear collision such…
Charge correlations and collective dynamics in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(sNN)=2.76 TeV
The theory of the strong force is called Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Within experimental limits it is observed that QCD respects CP-symmetry, although there is no confirmed fundamental explanation…

Can induced theta vacua be created in heavy-Ion collisions?
TLDR
A phenomenon important to the development of the early Universe which may be experimentally testable in heavy-ion collisions is discussed and the formation of a nonzero straight theta(ind) vacuum is seen on a time scale of 10(-23) s.
Anomaly induced domain formation of disoriented chiral condensates
We discuss the effect of the chiral anomaly as a possible mechanism for triggering the formation of domains of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The anomalous…

Instanton-induced effects in QCD high-energy scattering
We evaluate a number of new instanton-induced phenomena in QCD, starting with static dipole-dipole potentials, and proceeding to quark-quark and dipole-dipole scattering at high energy. We use a…

We suggest an anomalous effective Lagrangian which reproduces the anomalous conformal and chiral Ward identities and topological charge quantization in QCD. It is shown that the large ${N}_{c}$ Di…

The current understanding of the behavior of quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature is presented. Perturbative methods are used to explore the high-temperature dynamics. At sufficiently high…
