Title: Far-From-Equilibrium Chiral Charged Plasma Subjected to External Electromagnetic Fields

Abstract:
We report on the time evolution of a charged strongly coupled N=4 SYM plasma with an axial anomaly subjected to strong electromagnetic fields. The evolution of this plasma corresponds to a fully backreacted asymptotically AdS5 solution to the Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. We explore the evolution of the axial current and production of axial charges. As an application we show that after a sufficiently long time both the entropy and the holographic entanglement entropy of a strip-like topology ( both parallel to and transverse to the flow of axial current) grow linearly in time.
