1203.4259 (Ilmar Gahramanov et al.)

Anisotropic hydrodynamics, holography and the chiral magnetic effect    [PDF]

Ilmar Gahramanov, Tigran Kalaydzhyan, Ingo Kirsch
We discuss a possible dependence of the chiral magnetic effect (CME) on the elliptic flow coefficient v2. We first study this in a hydrodynamic model for a static anisotropic plasma with multiple anomalous U(1) currents. In the case of two charges, one axial and one vector, the CME formally appears as a first-order transport coefficient in the vector current. We compute this transport coefficient and show its dependence on v2. We also determine the CME-coefficient from first-order corrections to the dual AdS background using the fluid-gravity duality. For small anisotropies, we find numerical agreement with the hydrodynamic result.
