Description
The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a widely discussed effect
in quark-gluon plasmas, proposed to explain the observed charge
asymmetry in heavy-ion collisions. The CME states that, in the
presence of a magnetic field B, an electric current is induced in
the plasma along B. In this talk I present a holographic description of
the CME in terms of a fluid/gravity model. The model will be
used to compute some CME-related first-order transport coefficients in the electromagnetic current. Agreement with hydrodynamics is found.
