Title: Anomalous fluid dynamics
Abstract: The goal of these lectures is to show how to incorporate quantum anomalies such as chiral anomaly known in Quantum Field Theory into the classical fluid dynamics. I will start with an introduction into the fluid dynamics (Euler equations) and introduction into quantum anomalies. Then I will show that the conventional textbook Euler equation of fluid dynamics exhibits ‘chiral anomaly’. The discussion will be similar to a known example of bosonization in one spatial dimension. Then we consider how to use the anomaly inflow mechanism known in Quantum Field Theory to construct the anomalous actions for fluids.
Biography: Prof. Alexander Abanov is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Stony Brook University, working in theoretical condensed matter physics. His main interests lie in the field of strongly correlated electron systems. In studying such systems, strong electron-electron interactions prevent the full use of perturbation theory, with famous examples being high temperature superconductors and quantum Hall systems. Therefore, "non-perturbative" method become essential for theoretical analysis. In particular, the "topological" properties of strongly correlated systems play an important role because they are insensitive to interaction strength and provide us with some universal properties both at weak and strong coupling. This field involves an interplay among condensed matter theory, modern quantum field theory, and mathematics.
