Quark mass dependence of the vacuum electric conductivity induced by the magnetic field in SU(2) lattice gluodynamics

Abstract

We study the electric conductivity of the vacuum of quenched SU(2) lattice gauge theory induced by the magnetic field B as a function of the bare quark mass m. The conductivity grows as the quark mass decreases. Simplest power-like fit indicates that the conductivity behaves as B/sqrt(m). We discuss the implications of this result for dilepton angular distributions in heavy ion collisions.
