Title:
Deriving anomaly-induced response from thermal equilibrium. Part II

Speaker:
Kristan Jensen

Abstract:
Now that we believe that anomalies manifest themselves through macroscopic transport in thermal states, I’ll show you how to derive that transport from basic considerations of Euclidean field theory. To do so, we’ll study the properties of thermal partition functions for anomalous field theories coupled to background fields. If I have time, I’ll also discuss a not-so-basic consideration of Euclidean field theory which further relates gravitational anomalies to transport.
