Anomaly Induced Transport in Arbitrary Dimensions

Abstract

Motivated by the consistency of a global anomaly with the second law of thermodynamics, we propose a form for the anomaly induced charge/energy transport in arbitrary even dimensions. In a given dimension, this form exhausts all second law constraints on anomaly induced transport at any given order in hydrodynamic derivative expansion. This is achieved by solving the second law constraints off-shell without resorting to hydrodynamic equations at lower orders. We also study various possible finite temperature corrections to such anomaly induced transport coefficients.
