abstract
The global spin alignment of the vector meson has been observed in relativistic heavy ion collisions, but is still on hot debates in the theoretical community. Here we propose to apply the light front framework to explain this phenomenon since the light front form explicitly describes the hadron spin including both the quark spin and the orbital angular momentum. After applying the light front spinor, we find that the spin alignment in the polarization of vector mesons with $\rho_{00}>1/3$ can be naturally manifested and in particular, the obtained spin alignment for $\phi$ meson is in good agreement with the experimental data. This implies that to explain the spin alignment it is important to properly include the contribution from the gluon interactions that are presented in terms of the orbital angular momentum of the hadron bound state.

Gluon polarization contribution to the spin alignment of vector mesons from holography
A soft-wall holographic QCD model with a rotation-dependent gluon field predicts that rotation enhances the spin alignment of phi and rho mesons at high pT while J/psi stays nearly unaffected.

Vector and Tensor Spin Polarization for Vector Bosons at Local Equilibrium
Vector meson spin alignment at local equilibrium is shown to arise only at second order in thermodynamic gradients, with explicit analytic formulas for the contributing terms.

Spin alignment of vector mesons in local equilibrium by Zubarev's approach
The spin alignment rho00-1/3 vanishes at first order in gradients in local equilibrium, with nonzero contributions first appearing at second order, in a pseudo-gauge dependent way.
