Title : Anomalies, Chern-Simons Terms and Black Hole Entropy

Abstract :
Quantum anomalies enable us to access to some important information about quantum field theories in a robust way. Recently, the hydrodynamic limit of the systems with the anomalies has been actively investigated, together with its dual holographic description by gravitational theories with Chern-Simons terms.
