We perform a full diagonalization study of frustrated spin-1/2 chains (i.e. spin-1/2 chains with nearest and next nearest neighbor interaction) in the presence of an external magnetic field. The thermal and spin conductivity are computed from Kubo formulae as a function of frustration and field strength. We are especially interested in the transport properties in the vector chiral phase that appears in the phase diagram at strong frustration and in a high field. We observe an enhanced low-frequency response in the high-field vector chiral phase which we trace back to a renormalization and enhancement of the characteristic velocity.
