Anomalous non-conservation of fermion/chiral number in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature

Abstract We discuss the non-conservation of fermion number (or chirality breaking, depending on the fermionic charge assignment) in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. We study different mechanisms of fermionic charge disappearance in the high temperature plasma, using both analytical esti...
