Abstract We study the hydrodynamics of fluids composed self-spinning objects such as chiral grains or colloidal particles subject to torques. These active break both parity and time-reversal symmetries in their non-equilibrium steady states. As a result, constitutive relations media display dissipationless linear-response coefficient called odd (or equivalently, Hall) viscosity. This viscosity does not lead energy dissipation, but gives rise flow perpendicular applied pressure. show how...

We study constraints imposed by the Galilean invariance on linear electromagnetic and elastic responses of two-dimensional gapped systems in a background magnetic field. Exact relations between response functions following from Ward identities are derived. In addition to viscosity-conductivity known literature, we find new density-curvature thermal Hall response.

We consider quantum Hall states on a space with boundary, focusing the aspects of edge physics which are completely determined by symmetries problem. There four distinct terms Chern-Simons type that appear in low-energy effective action state. Two these protect gapless modes. They describe conductance and, some provisions, thermal conductance. The remaining two, including Wen-Zee term, contributes to viscosity, do not modes but instead related local boundary response fixed symmetries....

Using the Calogero model as an example, we show that transport in interacting nondissipative electronic systems is essentially nonlinear and unstable. Nonlinear effects are due to curvature of spectrum near Fermi energy. As typical for systems, a propagating semiclassical wave packet develops shock at finite time. A collapses into oscillatory features which further evolve regularly structured localized pulses carrying fractionally quantized charge. The can be used describe fractional quantum...

Collective field theory for the Calogero model represents particles with fractional statistics in terms of hydrodynamic modes---density and velocity fields. We show that quantum hydrodynamics this can be written as a single evolution equation on real holomorphic Bose field---the integrable Benjamin-Ono equation. It renders tools systems to studies nonlinear dynamics 1D liquids.

Almost strong edge-mode operators arising at the boundaries of certain interacting one-dimensional symmetry protected topological phases with Z_{2} have infinite temperature lifetimes that are nonperturbatively long in integrability breaking terms, making them promising as bits for quantum information processing.

In everyday fluids, viscosity is resistance to flow and dissipative, but a quantum Hall (QH) fluid at zero temperature has nondissipative (``odd'' viscosity). Using exact results we theoretically study observable consequences of odd in incompressible fluids two dimensions.

A semiclassical wave-packet propagating in a dissipationless Fermi gas inevitably enters "gradient catastrophe" regime, where an initially smooth front develops large gradients and undergoes dramatic shock wave phenomenon. The non-linear effects electronic transport are due to the curvature of spectrum at surface. They can be probed by sudden switching local potential. In equilibrium, this process produces number particle-hole pairs, phenomenon closely related Orthogonality Catastrophe. We...
