Hydrodynamical duals of the gravitational axial anomaly and the cosmological constant

Abstract

We construct the hydrodynamic expansion for a rotating and accelerated medium in a curved space-time, and establish a duality between the currents related to the cosmological constant and the acceleration. Then we consider the more general case with a non-zero Weyl tensor, and show the relationship between the current in flat space-time and the gravitational axial anomaly. This generalizes the previous derivation to the case with a non-zero Ricci tensor.
