A chiral magnetic effect from AdS/CFT with flavor

For (3+1)-dimensional fermions, a net axial charge and external magnetic field can lead to a current parallel to the magnetic field. This is the chiral magnetic effect. We use gauge-gravity duality to study the chiral magnetic effect in large-Nc, strongly-coupled N = 4 supersymmetric SU(N c) Yang-Mi...
