(Lattice-based animation by Derek Leinweber) In QCD, chiral symmetry breaking is due to a non-trivial topological effect; among the best evidence of this physics would be event-by-event strong parity violation. Parity violation in strong interactions Dynamics is a random walk between states with different topological charges. N CS = -2 -1 0 1 2 Energy of gluonic field is periodic in N CS direction (~ a generalized coordinate)‏ Instantons and sphalerons are localized (in space and time) solutions describing transitions between different vacua via tunneling or go-over-barrier In the vicinity of the of the deconfinement phase transition QCD vacuum can posses metastable domain leading to P and PC violation

3. Topological charge fluctuations in gluodynamical vacuum Buividovich, Kalaijan, Polikarpov

4. These transitions with changing the topological charge involve configurations which may violate P and CP invariance of strong interactions. Fermions can interact with a gauge field configurations, transforming left- into right-handed quarks and vice-versa via the axial anomaly and thus resulting in generates asymmetry between left- and right-handed fermions. In this states a balance between left- handed and right-handed quarks is destroyed, N L -N R =2N F Q w → violation of P -, CP - symmetry. Dynamics is a random walk between states with different topological charges. Average total topological charge vanishes =0 but variance is equal to the total number of transitions =N t In the presence of inbalanced chirality a magnetic field induces a current along the the magnetic field. Chiral magnetic effect

6. Charge separation in HIC: CP violation signal L or B Non-zero angular momentum (or equivalently magnetic field) in heavy-ion collisions make it possible for P - and CP -odd domains to induce charge separation (D.Kharzeev, PL B 633 (2006) 260). Electric dipole moment of QCD matter ! Measuring the charge separation with respect to the reaction plane was proposed by S.Voloshin, Phys. Rev. C 70 (2004) 057901. Magnetic field through the axial anomaly induces a parallel electric field which will separate different charges

Transport model with electromagnetic field The Boltzmann equation is the basis of QMD like models: Generalized on-shell transport equations in the presence of electromagnetic fields can be obtained formally by the substitution: A general solution of the wave equations For point-like particles is as follows

25. HSD background for BES experiments on CME V.Toneev et al., arXiv:1112.2595 Experiments at 7.7 and 11.5 GeV are explained by HSD, the CME is not seen

27. The HSD transport model with retarded electromagnetic fields has been developed. The magnetic field and energy density of the deconfined matter reach very high values. Actual calculations show no noticeable influence of the created electromagnetic fields on observables. It is due to a compensating effect in action of transverse components of electric and magnetic fields on the quasiparticle transport. First low-energy experiments within the RHIC BES program at √s NN = 7.7 and 11.5 GeV can be explained within hadronic scenario without reference to the spontaneous local CP violation. Direct inclusion of quarks and gluons in evolution is needed (PHSD model) for exploring the CME at √s NN above the top SPS energy as well as in future to consider spin d.o.f., to mimic directly the CME.
