The relation between thermal transport and gravity was highlighted in the seminal work by Luttinger in 1964, and has been extensively developed to understand thermal transport, most notably the thermal Hall effect. Here we review the novel concepts that relate thermal transport, the geometry of space-time and quantum field theory anomalies. We give emphasis to the cross-pollination between emergent ideas in condensed matter, notably Weyl and Dirac semimetals, and the understanding of gravitational and scale anomalies stemming from high-energy physics. We finish by relating to recent experimental advances and presenting a perspective of several open problems.

  1. Hydrodynamics of perfect fluids with anomalies from the fermionic path integral

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The fermionic path integral in the infrared yields hydrodynamic actions for anomalous perfect fluids, including four- and five-dimensional transgression forms from anomaly inflow.

  2. Examining the Anomalous Nature of Chiral Effects in Thermodynamics

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The chiral anomaly acquires local-temperature and chemical-potential terms that produce the chiral separation and vortical effects, and it vanishes at global equilibrium.

  3. From chiral to conformal anomalies: a double copy perspective for CFT correlators

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Squaring the chiral-anomaly three-current correlator, in its five-dimensional flat-space limit, reproduces the conformal-anomaly contribution to the stress-tensor three-point function.

  4. Study on axial fields in the dynamically assisted Schwinger effect

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A circularly polarized high-frequency wave creates an effective axial field that significantly boosts fermion pair production in the dynamically assisted Schwinger effect.
