Hall viscosity in the A phase of superfluid He 3

2021 
We construct the effective field theory for the $A$ phase of superfluid $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ up to the next-to-leading order in the derivative expansion. To this end, we gauge the internal global symmetries of the theory on curved space by introducing the background gauge fields and spatial metric so as to expose a hidden local symmetry known as nonrelativistic diffeomorphism. Nonrelativistic diffeomorphism is particularly useful to yield an additional constraint on the effective field theory and reveal a universal expression for the Hall viscosity in the $A$ phase. We find it five orders of magnitude larger than that in the $B$ phase under a magnetic field so that its experimental observation is more feasible by measuring the induced elliptic polarization of sound waves.
