Universality of Transport Properties in Equilibrium, the Goldstone Theorem, and Chiral Anomaly
Open accessAbstract
We study transport in a class of physical systems possessing two conserved chiral charges. We describe a relation between universality of transport properties of such systems and the chiral anomaly. We show that the nonvanishing of a current expectation value implies the presence of gapless modes, in analogy to the Goldstone theorem. Our main tool is a new formula expressing currents in terms of anomalous commutators. Universality of conductance arises as a natural consequence of the nonrenormalization of anomalies. To illustrate our formalism we examine transport properties of a quantum wire in $1+1$ dimensions and of massless QED in a background magnetic field in $3+1$ dimensions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
