Entropy current in two dimensional anomalous hydrodynamics and a bound on the sum of the response parameters

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The exact expression for the entropy current of a fluid in presence of two dimensional gravitational anomalies is given. To make it compatible with the second law of thermodynamics; i.e. positivity of the entropy production rate of a system (which is considered to be fundamental), we find a bound on the sum of the two response parameters (Cˉ1\bar{C}_1 and Cˉ2\bar{C}_2), in terms of the trace and diffeomorphism anomaly coefficients (cwc_w and cgc_g). The precise expression, we obtain here, is Cˉ1+Cˉ2≤4π2cw+8π2cg\bar{C}_1 + \bar{C}_2\leq 4π^2c_w + 8π^2 c_g. Interestingly, when the bound is saturated corresponding to a reversible process, the result reproduces earlier findings obtained by either studying field theory on the cone or using the {\it Israel-Hartle-Hawking} boundary condition. Finally, possible physical implications and connections with the existing approaches are addressed.
