Effect of chiral imbalance on the electrical conductivity of hot and dense quark matter using Green–Kubo method within the 2-flavour gauged NJL model
Abstract The electrical conductivity of hot and dense quark matter is calculated using the 2-flavour gauged Nambu–Jona–Lasinio (NJL) model in the presence of a chiral imbalance quantified in terms of a chiral chemical potential (CCP).

| Summary: | Abstract The electrical conductivity of hot and dense quark matter is calculated using the 2-flavour gauged Nambu–Jona–Lasinio (NJL) model in the presence of a chiral imbalance quantified in terms of a chiral chemical potential (CCP). To this end, the in-medium spectral function corresponding to the vector current correlator is evaluated employing the real time formulation of finite temperature field theory. Taking the long wavelength limit of the spectral function we extract the electrical conductivity using the Green–Kubo relation. The thermal widths of the quarks/antiquarks that appear in the expression of electrical conductivity are calculated by considering the $$2\rightarrow 2$$ 2 → 2 scattering in the NJL model. The scattering amplitudes containing the polarization functions of the mesonic modes in the scalar and pseudoscalar channels are also evaluated by considering finite value of CCP. We find that the ratio of electrical conductivity to temperature has significant dependence on CCP especially in the low temperature region. |
