Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, chiral magnetic effects have drawn a great deal of attention in relativistic heavy ion collisions as a possible way to detect the P and CP violation of strong interaction. Chiral magnetic effects and many related topics, e.g., the novel chiral transports, chiral magnetic waves, and chiral kinetic theory, etc., have been widely studied from theoretical and experimental sides. The applications of those chiral phenomena have also extended to astrophysics and condensate matter physics. However, it is still challenging to get a clear signal of P and CP violation of strong interaction through chiral magnetic effects in relativistic heavy ion collisions due to the contributions from background interference. Therefore, new strategies, methods, and possible applications are urgently needed. This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected reviews on current developments related to chiral phenomena and selected contributions on the new strategies and methods.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

We study the thermodynamics for a uniformly rotating system of chiral fermions under the uniform magnetic field. Then, we obtain the mathematical expressions of some thermodynamic quantities in terms of the series with respect to the external magnetic field B, the angular velocity Ω and the chemical potential μ, expanded around B=0, Ω=0 and μ=0. Our results given by such series are a generalization of the expressions available in the references simply corresponding to the lower-order terms of our findings. The zero-temperature limit of our results is also discussed. Full article

The fluid in global equilibrium must fulfill some constraints. These constraints can be derived from quantum statistical theory or kinetic theory. In this work, we show how these constraints can be applied to determine the non-dissipative transport coefficients for chiral systems along with the energy-momentum conservation, chiral anomaly for charge current and trace anomaly in the energy-momentum tensor.

The NJL model of one-flavor quark is employed to study the properties of QCD mater with finite temperature, external magnetic field, and chiral chemical potential. Through the mean-field approximation and a self-consistent method, a non-perturbative quark propagator is proposed to deduce the gap equations, and it can be proved that besides the classic vacuum condensate, there are non-zero statistical averages of a quark current and quark magnetic moment. Through a rigorous algebraic method, the quark current leads to a modified chiral magnetic effect. Through a numerical method, the quark magnetic moment is non-zero in the chiral breaking phase, and its relation with chiral chemical potential is studied. Full article
