Universality of Anomalous Transport for zero temperature Superfluids

Abstract

We show that generic U(1) superfluids with a U(1)^3 anomaly feature universal anomalous transport at low temperature. This universal behavior had been encountered before for a class holographic models by performing explicit computations: anomalous conductivities were found to either vanish or to be 1/3 of the value they present for ordinary fluids. In this note we argue in favor of the fact that at zero temperature chiral conductivities are fully determined by anomaly coefficients. We also compute them and show explicitly where their particular value arises from. The proof is based on Ward Identities plus the physical input that at zero temperature all the fluid is in its superfluid component.
