Anomalous transport from geometry

Abstract

We revisit the relation between black hole geometries and chiral transport. Integrating the anomaly equation in a black hole geometry allows to derive the chiral transport coefficients for the thermal gas far from the horizon. The key ingredient is to impose vanishing of the covariant current on the horizon. We extend the method to include the usual gauge anomaly for charged black holes and to weak magnetic fields. This allows to derive the full set of transport coefficients describing the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical effects.
