Higher spin vortical Zilches from Kubo formulae

arXiv:1809.08255 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.98.105008

Abstract

We compute thermal one point functions in Maxwell's theory sourced by vorticity for the Zilch and its higher spin extensions via the Kubo formalism. This leads to a generalization of the recent results of \citep{Chernodub:2018era} to any spin and their value suggests a relation with possible anomalies for the higher spin tower of currents.
