Vorticity and Spin Polarization --- A Theoretical Perspective

Nuclear Theory 2021-02-03 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

We give a theoretical perspective on the vorticity and spin polarization in heavy-ion collisions. We discuss the recent progress in spin hydrodynamics and spin kinetic theory. We also discuss other effects caused by vorticity including the chiral vortical effect and rotation-induced phase transitions.
