Abstract
The global spin polarization of hyperons in heavy-ion collisions have been investigated by including spin correlation effects among their constituent quarks. The available data on global spin polarizations of hyperons and spin alignments of vector mesons provide constraints on phase space functions of the spin polarization and correlation. These constraints can lead to inequalities under some approximations, which might provide possible clues for the presence of quark spin correlation inside hyperons at lower collision energies.
