abstract
We study local spin polarization in the relativistic hydrodynamic model. Generalizing the Wigner functions previously obtained from chiral kinetic theory by Y. Hidaka et al. [Phys. Rev. D 97, 016004 (2018)] to the massive case, we present the possible contributions up to the order of $\hbar$ from thermal vorticity, shear viscous tensor, other terms associated with the temperature and chemical-potential gradients, and electromagnetic fields to the local spin polarization. We then implement the (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic model to study the spin polarizations from these sources with a small chemical potential and ignorance of electromagnetic fields by adopting an equation of state different from those in other recent studies. Although the shear correction alone upon the local polarization results in a sign and azimuthal-angle dependence more consistent with experimental observations, as also discovered in other recent studies, it is mostly suppressed by the contributions from thermal vorticity and other terms that yield an opposite trend. It is found that the total local spin polarization can be very sensitive to the equation of states, the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, and the freeze-out temperature.

Hyperon global polarization in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV
In Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at 200 GeV, STAR finds Lambda polarization growing toward peripheral collisions, a first 2.4-sigma hint of in-plane-enhanced polarization, and a 2.9-sigma positive Xi polarization.

Local Spin Polarization in Anisotropic Gubser Flow: Suppression Mechanism and Formulation Dependence
In an anisotropic Gubser flow, the longitudinal spin polarization's sign depends on which shear formulation is used, and two popular formulations show exact or near-exact cancellation between vorticity and shear contr...

CLVisc Agent for autonomous relativistic hydrodynamics studies
An LLM agent autonomously created a CLVisc skill and ran two hydrodynamic studies, finding that the high-temperature branch of η/s dominates flow suppression and that PGCM-uniform 16O decouples ellipticity from size.

Vector-Meson Spin Alignment from Anisotropic Quark or Hadron Coalescence
Anisotropic quark or hadron coalescence in heavy-ion collisions generates vector-meson spin alignment whose sign distinguishes bare-vector from spin-orbit-coupled production vertices.

Tensor spin polarization induced by curved freeze-out hypersurface
The curvature of the freeze-out hypersurface induces a tensor spin polarization of vector mesons at leading gradient order, with predicted phi-meson spin alignment around -10^-4 to -10^-3.

Is the shear induced spin polarization non-dissipative?
Shear-induced spin polarization leaves the momentum-integrated entropy production rate unchanged in chiral kinetic theory, but Zubarev's linear response suggests a dissipative origin.

Transverse and longitudinal spin alignment from color fields in heavy ion collisions
Spin alignment of phi mesons along the beam direction is predicted to exceed 1/3 for glasma fields and to show a sign-changing rapidity pattern for isotropic QGP color fields, offering a discriminating observable.

Hydrodynamic effects on spin polarization along the beam direction in Au+Au and p+Pb collisions
Hydrodynamic spin contributions (thermal vorticity negative, thermal shear positive) reproduce Au+Au polarization but cannot match CMS p+Pb data, so new polarization mechanisms may be needed.

The CLVisc hydrodynamic model reproduces the second sine Fourier coefficient of Lambda longitudinal polarization in Au+Au collisions but fails in p+Pb collisions; the paper also surveys quantum kinetic theory and spin...
