Relativistic first-order spin hydrodynamics via the Chapman-Enskog expansion

Abstract

In this paper, we present a detailed derivation of relativistic first-order spin hydrodynamics using the Chapman-Enskog method to linearize the nonlocal collision term for massive fermions proposed in \cite{Weickgenannt:2021cuo}, which well describes spin-orbit coupling in the collision process and is relevant for the research on local spin polarization. Based on this collisional term, we provide a formal discussion about first-order spin hydrodynamics and determine the motion equations of fluid variables and nonequilibrium corrections to the energy-momentum and spin tensors. The results indicate that the motion equations show no differences compared to spinless first-order hydrodynamics and the energy-momentum tensor receives no corrections from spin as far as first-order theory is concerned, which calls for the construction of second-order theory of fluids naturally incorporating the effect of spin-orbit coupling.
