The Kondo effect is induced by the interaction between light fermions near the Fermi surface and heavy impurities, and it affects electric/thermal/transport properties of matter. The chirality (right-handed or left-handed) is one of the unique properties of relativistic (Dirac or Weyl) fermions. In normal matter, the numbers of right- and left-handed particles are equivalent to each other, but environments with a chirality imbalance can also be realized. In this paper, we theoretically propose the Kondo effect driven by a chirality imbalance (or chiral chemical potential) of relativistic light fermions. This effect is caused by the mixing between a right-handed (or left-handed) fermion and a heavy impurity in the chirality imbalanced matter. This is different from the usual Kondo effect induced by finite density (or chemical potential) for light fermions. We construct an effective model with an interaction between a relativistic fermion and a heavy impurity, and we derive the realization of the Kondo effect from both a perturbative calculation and a nonperturbative mean-field approach. We also discuss the temperature dependence, the coupling constant dependence, the susceptibilities, and the order of the phase transition for the Kondo effect. Such a Kondo effect will be tested by future lattice simulations.

The QCD Kondo effect is a quantum phenomenon in which heavy (charm or bottom) quarks exist as impurity particles in quark matter composed of light quarks at extremely high density. In this paper, we theoretically predict the existence of the exciton modes above the ground state of the quark matter governed by the QCD Kondo effect. We construct an effective model based on the mean field approximation and investigate possible quantum numbers (such as spin and parity) of excitons and their dispersion relations. These excitons can be electrically (color) neutral, so that they are observed as the neutral currents in transport phenomena. As a result, they contribute to violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law for the electric (color) and heat conductivities. Such Kondo excitons are an universal phenomenon for relativistic (Dirac or Weyl) fermions, and the same concept will also be applied to Dirac or Weyl electron systems.

The Kondo effect is a well-known phenomenon in metal including localized impurities, which leads to drastic modification of electric/thermal/transportproperties of metal. In high-density quark matter, a similar effect can be induced by interaction between a light quark and a "colored" impurity like heavy quarks, which is the so-called QCD Kondo effect. In this talk, I will review a novel phase with condensates consisting of a light quark and a heavy quark, that is the Kondo phase predicted in Refs.[1,2]. In particular, recently, we found that several exciton modes can be excited in this phase, by using an improved analysis [3]. Such modes could affect the transport properties of high-density quark matter. [1] S. Yasui, K. Suzuki, and K. Itakura, Nucl. Phys. A983 (2019) 90. [2] S. Yasui, K. Suzuki, and K. Itakura, Phys. Rev.

D mesons are expected to be clear probes of the chiral condensate. For the Casimir effect in the QCD vacuum, non-perturbative properties of the QCD vacuum are modified by the volume size and boundary conditions. In this talk, we focus on the modification of the chiral symmetry breaking by the Casimir effect and the response of D mesons. By using an effective Lagrangian based on chiral partner structures for D mesons, we discuss the dependences on volume, boundary, and temperature, and the applications to lattice QCD simulations.
