Abstract
In a fluid with vorticity and acceleration, an axial current arises in the third order of gradient expansion, called the kinematical vortical effect (KVE). While existing in the absence of gravitational fields, it is nevertheless associated with effects in curved space-time, namely with the gravitational chiral quantum anomaly. In this paper, the KVE transport coefficients were found using the Zubarev quantum-statistical density operator for the Rarita-Schwinger-Adler theory, which includes fields with spins 3/2 and 1/2. A prediction is made about the possible form of the transport coefficients for massless fields with arbitrary spin.
