Description
We study the possible generation of relativistic jets induced by a chiral imbalance in a strongly magnetized electron–positron plasma in magnetospheres of spinning black holes. Stationary, axisymmetric, force–free magnetospheres Kerr black holes are analyzed. We explore the chiral symmetry breaking induced by longitudinal photons as a possible condition for the creation of relativistic jets. We report an electric current, and discuss its structure in terms of the scattering and creation of electron-positron pairs resulting from the decay of the longitudinal photons in a magnetized medium. The present results are based on the quantum field theory formalism at finite temperature and density.
