Abstract
We construct an effective field theory description of relativistic superfluids with nonzero angular momentum density. At first order in the derivative expansion, the effective action contains a term with a quantized coefficient, which encodes the Berry phase for the angular momentum of the superfluid condensate. From this single term we derive a number of physical effects, including the relativistic Mermin-Ho relation, an anomalous Ettingshausen effect (exchangeable for an anomalous Hall effect), and an anomalous Hall viscosity.
