We revisit the chiral kinetic equation from high density effective theory approach, finding a chiral kinetic equation differs from counterpart derived from field theory in high order terms in the $O(1/mu)$ expansion, but in agreement with the equation derived in on-shell effective field theory upon identification of cutoff. By using reparametrization transformation properties of the effective theory, we show that the difference in kinetic equations from two approaches are in fact expected. It is simply due to different choices of degree of freedom by effective theory and field theory. We also show that they give equivalent description of the dynamics of chiral fermions.

A modified quantum kinetic equation which takes account of the noninertial features of rotating frame is proposed. The vector and axial-vector field components of the Wigner function for chiral fluids are worked out in a semiclassical scheme. It is d emonstrated that the chiral currents and energy-momentum tensor computed by means of them are consistent with the hydrodynamical results. A new semiclassical covariant chiral transport equation is established by inspecting the equations satisfied by the chiral vector fields. It uniquely provides a new three-dimensional semiclassical chiral kinetic theory possessing a Coriolis force term. The particle number and current densities deduced from this transport equation satisfy the anomalous continuity equation and generate the magnetic and vortical effects correctly.
Many-body systems with chiral fermions exhibit anomalous transport phenomena originated from quantum anomalies. Based on quantum field theory, we derive the kinetic theory for chiral fermions interacting with an external electromagnetic field and a b ackground curved geometry. The resultant framework respects the covariance under the U(1) gauge, local Lorentz, and diffeomorphic transformations. It is particularly useful to study the gravitational or non-inertial effects for chiral systems. As the first application, we study the chiral dynamics in a rotating coordinate and clarify the roles of the Coriolis force and spin-vorticity coupling in generating the chiral vortical effect (CVE). We also show that the CVE is an intrinsic phenomenon of a rotating chiral fluid, and thus independent of observers frame.

We derive a chiral kinetic theory with Landau level basis, which is valid for slow-varying magnetic field with arbitrary magnitude. We apply the new chiral kinetic theory to calculate the electric conductivity transverse to the magnetic field in a ma gnetized QED and QCD plasma. Under the lowest Landau level approximation and relaxation time approximation, we find the transverse conductivity approaches a constant in the large magnetic field limit and is inversely proportional to the relaxation time. We also obtain a frequency-dependent transverse conductivity in response to a time-dependent electric field. We find a high frequency enhancement in this conductivity.
The $Lambda N$ and $Sigma N$ interactions are considered at next-to-leading order in SU(3) chiral effective field theory. Different options for the low-energy constants that determine the strength of the contact interactions are explored. Two variant s are analysed in detail which yield equivalent results for $Lambda N$ and $Sigma N$ scattering observables but differ in the strength of the $Lambda N to Sigma N$ transition potential. The influence of this difference on predictions for light hypernuclei and on the properties of the $Lambda$ and $Sigma$ hyperons in nuclear matter is investigated and discussed. The effect of the variation in the potential strength of the $Lambda N$-$Sigma N$ coupling (also called $Lambda -Sigma$ conversion) is found to be moderate for the considered $^3_Lambda rm H$ and $^4_Lambda rm He$ hypernuclei but sizable in case of the matter properties. Further, the size of three-body forces and their relation to different approaches to hypernuclear interactions is discussed.
Using recently derived results for one-loop hadronic splitting functions from a nonlocal implementation of chiral effective theory, we study the contributions from pseudoscalar meson loops to flavor asymmetries in the proton. Constraining the paramet ers of the regulating functions by inclusive production of $n$, $Delta^{++}$, $Lambda$ and $Sigma^{*+}$ baryons in $pp$ collisions, we compute the shape of the light antiquark asymmetry $bar{d}-bar{u}$ in the proton and the strange asymmetry $s-bar{s}$ in the nucleon sea. With these constraints, the magnitude of the $bar{d}-bar{u}$ asymmetry is found to be compatible with that extracted from the Fermilab E866 Drell-Yan measurement, with no indication of a sign change at large values of $x$, and an integrated value in the range $langle bar d-bar u rangle approx 0.09-0.17$. The $s-bar s$ asymmetry is predicted to be positive at $x > 0$, with compensating negative contributions at $x=0$, and an integrated $x$-weighted moment in the range $langle x (s-bar s) rangle approx (0.9-2.5) times 10^{-3}$.
