Abstract

Chirality is an ubiquitous concept in modern science from particle physics to biology In quantum physics chirality is intimately linked to the topology of gauge fields due to the quantum anomaly While the quantum anomaly is usually associated with the short distance behavior recently it has been realized that it also affects the macroscopic behavior of fluids with chiral fermions In particular the local imbalance between left and right handed fermions in the presence
