Abstract

In this work, we present a novel framework of relativistic non-resistive dissipative magnetohydrodynamics for spin-polarized particles. Utilizing a classical relativistic kinetic equation for the distribution function in an extended phase-space of position, momentum, and spin, we derive equations of motion for dissipative currents at first-order in spacetime gradients. Our findings reveal a coupling between fluid vorticity and magnetization via an electromagnetic field, leading to relativistic analogs of the Einstein-de Haas and Barnett effects. Our study provides a tool for a better understanding of the polarization phenomena observed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
