53 Discussion Sessions Tuesday 13 November 16:30 - Gerald Dunne and Yoshimasa Hidaka Landau-level structure in QCD. Questions: To what extent is the Landau-level picture applicable in QCD as an interacting theory? Is the LLL approximation valid for strong magnetic fields, and does physics reduce to a 1+1 dimensional theory here? If so, does the Mermin-Wagner theorem become effective? Is this visible in the Dirac eigenmodes? Wednesday 14 November 16:30 - Andreas Schmitt and Ingo Kirsch Introduction to the ads/qft approach and comparison to lattice. Questions: Is there any input from the lattice side, that could be used to fix certain free parameters of the holographic approach, and what are the observables that we can compare?

54 Discussion Sessions Thursday 15 November 16:30 - Dmitri Kharzeev and Vladimir Skokov Chiral magnetic effect. Questions: Is there consensus about CME signatures in experimental results from heavy ion colliders? What are the possible interpretations of these data? What are the motivated theoretical suggestions for ALICE to measure from the CME-interested community (becoming especially actual after ALICE upgrade)? Is it resonable to look at higher order sin-harmonics and their correlators? Is it reasonable to study their averages not over set of all event but over some subsets?
