abstract
Heavy ion collisions generate strong fluid vorticty in the produced hot quark-gluon matter which could in turn induce measurable spin polarization of hadrons. We review recent progress on the vorticity formation and spin polarization in heavy ion collisions with transport models. We present an introduction to the fluid vorticity in non-relativistic and relativistic hydrodynamics and address various properties of the vorticity formed in heavy ion collisions. We discuss the spin polarization in a vortical fluid using the Wigner function formalism in which we derive the freeze-out formula for the spin polarization. Finally we give a brief overview of recent theoretical results for both the global and local spin polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ hyperons.

Chromomagnetic condensation and perturbative confinement induced by imaginary rotation in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory
In SU(2) Yang-Mills, imaginary rotation is shown to induce a chromomagnetic condensate and to turn the perturbative confinement transition first-order, with phase boundary approaching Ω̃_c = π/√3.

Fluid Acceleration in Heavy-Ion Collisions
In AMPT and UrQMD simulations, fluid acceleration in heavy-ion collisions reaches a few hundred MeV, peaks at fireball boundaries, and evolves from stopping-dominated deceleration at low energies to boundary/tilt puls...

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.

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.

Chromomagnetic Condensate in Finite-Temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory under Imaginary Rotation
At one loop, imaginary rotation in the SU(2) Savvidy model enhances the chromomagnetic condensate and effective coupling, can suppress the Nielsen-Olesen instability in a finite window, and gives a negative moment-of-...
