On the anomalous superfluid hydrodynamics

Shu Lin

Abstract

It has been shown by Son and Surówka that the presence of anomaly in hydrodynamics with global U(1) symmetry can induce vortical and magnetic currents. The induced current is uniquely determined by anomaly from the existence of an entropy current with non-negative divergence. In this work, we extended the analysis to hydrodynamics with U(1) symmetry spontaneously broken, i.e. U(1) superfluid hydrodynamics. We found that all possible first order gradient corrections are determined up to five arbitrary functions, with the entropy current containing one arbitrary function. Furthermore, the stress tensor does not receive correction from terms proportional to the magnetic field.
