Abstract
We study the chirally imbalanced hot and dense strongly interacting matter by means of the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs). The chiral phase diagram is studied in the presence of chiral chemical potential μ5. The chiral quark condensate \( \left\langle \overline{\psi}\psi \right\rangle \) is obtained with the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) effective action in concert with the Rainbow truncation. Catalysis effect of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) by μ5 is observed. We examine with two popular gluon models and consistency is found within the DSE approach, as well as in comparison with lattice QCD. The critical end point (CEP) location (μE , TE ) shifts toward larger TE but constant μE as μ5 increases. A technique is then introduced to compute the chiral charge density n5 from the fully dressed quark propagator. We find the n5 generally increases with temperature T , quark number chemical potential μ and μ5. Since the chiral magnetic effect (CME) is typically investigated with peripheral collisions, we also investigate the finite size effect on n5 and find an increase in n5 with smaller system size.
