Vorticity and Spin Polarization — A Theoretical Perspective

Vorticity and Spin Polarization — A Theoretical Perspective

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 transition...
