Title: An Introduction to Chiral Kinetic Theory

Abstract:
It has recently been recognized that the chiral anomaly in the quantum field theory
can cause a macroscopic and non-negligible phenomena such as the chiral magnetic effect.
In this talk, I will introduce the chiral kinetic theory, which implements the effect of chiral anomaly.
In this theory, the kinetic equations or the Boltzmann equations for fermions are modified
with the so-called Berry curvature, and it reconstructs the anomaly equation.
I will also explain that this leads to the chiral magnetic effect, where the electric current
parallel to the magnetic field in the presence of the chiral asymmetry in the system,
at the hydrodynamic limit.
This talk is done with the whiteboard on the ipad.
