In particular, the non-trivial topological configurations of the gluon field induce a non-dissipative electric current in the presence of a magnetic field. These phenomena have led to an extended formulation of relativistic hydrodynamics, called chiral magnetohydrodynamics. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHitherto unexpected applications in condensed matter physics include graphene and topological insulators. Other fields of application include astrophysics, where strong magnetic fields exist in magnetars and pulsars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLast but not least, an important new theoretical tool that will be revisited and which made much of the progress surveyed in this book possible is the holographic principle - the correspondence between quantum field theory and gravity in extra dimensions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited and authored by the pioneers and leading experts in this newly emerging field, this book offers a valuable resource for a broad community of physicists and graduate students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275251245207,"sku":"9783642373046","price":3639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642373046.webp?v=1769282348","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/strongly-interacting-matter-in-magnetic-fields-9783642373046","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
