As for Berry’s phase, a general survey of the subject including the anomalous Hall effect<span> is presented using both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms. The canonical Hamiltonian formalism of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation, when applied to the anomalous Hall effect, can incorporate the gauge symmetry of Berry’s connection but unable to incorporate the completely independent gauge symmetry of the electromagnetic vector potential simultaneously. Thus the Nernst effect is not realized in the canonical formalism. Transformed to the Lagrangian formalism with a time-derivative term allowed, the Born–Oppenheimer approximation can incorporate the electromagnetic vector potential simultaneously with Berry’s connection, but the consistent canonical property is lost and thus becomes classical. The Lagrangian formalism can thus incorporate both gauge symmetries simultaneously but spoils the basic quantum symmetries, and thus results in classical anomalous Poisson brackets and the classical Nernst effect as in the conventional formalism. These properties are taken as the bases of the applications of Berry’s phase to the anomalous Hall effect in the present review.</span></p><p><span>As for chiral anomalies, we present basic materials by the path integral formulation with an emphasis on fermions on the lattice.

However, its fast evolution and thermalization properties remain elusive. Only the usage of high momentum objects as probes of QGP can unveil its constituents at different wavelengths. In this review, we attempt to provide a comprehensive picture of what was, so far, possible to infer about QGP given our current theoretical understanding of jets, heavy-flavor, and quarkonia. We will bridge the resulting qualitative picture to the experimental observations done at both the LHC and </span>RHIC. We will focus on the phenomenological description of experimental observations, provide a brief analytical summary of the description of hard probes, and an outlook towards the main difficulties we will need to surpass in the following years.
