We obtain the nonequilibrium condensate of the Chern Simons density induced by a misaligned homogeneous coherent axion field in linear response. The Chern-Simons dynamical susceptibility is simply related to the axion self-energy, a result that is valid to leading order in the axion coupling but to all orders in the couplings of the gauge fields to other fields within or beyond the standard model except the axion. We conjecture that emergent axionlike quasiparticle excitations in condensed matter systems may be harnessed to probe cosmological axions and the Chern-Simons condensate.
We obtain the nonequilibrium condensate of the Chern Simons density induced by a misaligned homogeneous coherent axion field in linear response. The Chern-Simons dynamical susceptibility is simply related to the axion self-energy, a result that is valid to leading order in the axion coupling but to all orders in the couplings of the gauge fields to other fields within or beyond the standard model except the axion. The induced Chern-Simons density requires renormalization which is achieved by vacuum subtraction. For ultralight axions of mass ma coupled to electromagnetic fields with coupling g, the renormalized high temperature contribution postrecombination is <(E) over right arrow center dot (EB) over right arrow > (t) = - g pi T-2(4)/15 (a) over bar (t) + gm(a)(2)T/16 pi (a) over bar (t) with (a) over bar (t) the dynamical homogeneous axion condensate. We conjecture that emergent axionlike quasiparticle excitations in condensed matter systems may be harnessed to probe cosmological axions and the Chern-Simons condensate. Furthermore, it is argued that a misaligned axion can also induce a non-Abelian Chern-Simons condensate of similar qualitative form, and can also seed chiral symmetry breaking and induce a neutral pion condensate after the QCD phase transition.
