  We calculate of the one- and two-point correlation functions of the energy
density and the divergence of the Chern-Simons current in the nonequilibrium
Glasma state formed in a high-energy nuclear collision. We show that the latter
depends on the difference of the total and linearly polarized gluon transverse
momentum distributions. Since the divergence of the Chern-Simons current
provides the source of axial charge, we infer information about the statistical
properties of axial charge production at early times. We further develop a
simple phenomenological model to characterize axial charge distributions in
terms of distributions of the energy density.
