Strong magnetic fields show up in various context in high-energy physics such as heavy-ion collisions, compact stars, and the early universe. Thus it is of interest to understand the behavior of strongly interacting matter in such extreme conditions. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the progress that has been made over the past decade. In particular, I will discuss the...
Strong electromagnetic fields, as they arise in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, in the interior of magnetars and potentially during the evolution of the early universe, have a significant impact on the physics of quarks and gluons. First-principles lattice simulations of this non-perturbative system have revealed a highly nontrivial response to the background fields and a corresponding phase...
The large-scale structure of our Universe is seen as a result of quantum field fluctuations amplified by the evolution of space-time itself. Quantum fields in curved spacetimes have many tantalizing theoretical properties, for example particles being produced by the time-dependence of the geometry. I will describe how quantum fields in geometries with spacetime curvature and different...
I’ll discuss the role of the triangle anomaly in polarized deep inelastic scattering (DIS) employing a worldline formalism. I’ll demonstrate that the structure function $g_1(x_B,Q^2)$ measured in polarized DIS, as well as its first moment which defines the proton's helicity $\Sigma(Q^2)$, is dominated by the chiral anomaly in both Bjorken ($Q^2\rightarrow \infty)$ and Regge ($x_B\rightarrow...
