We derive the general exact forms of the Wigner function, of mean values of conserved currents, of the spin density matrix, of the spin polarization vector and of the distribution function of massless particles for the free Dirac field at global thermodynamic equilibrium with rotation and acceleration, extending our previous results obtained for the scalar field. The solutions are obtained by means of an iterative method and analytic continuation, which leads to formal series in thermal vorticity. In order to obtain finite values, we extend to the fermionic case the method of analytic distillation introduced for bosonic series. The obtained mean values of the stress-energy tensor, vector and axial currents for the massless Dirac field are in agreement with known analytic results in the special cases of pure acceleration and pure rotation. By using this approach, we obtain new expressions of the currents for the more general case of combined rotation and acceleration and, in the pure acceleration case, we demonstrate that they must vanish at the Unruh temperature.

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under imaginary rigid rotation, free Dirac fermions in the thermodynamic limit behave like a static system at inverse temperature q beta with the same chemical potential, yielding fractal dependence on the rotation parameter.

  4. Thermodynamics of rotating fermions

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A local pressure for rotating massless fermions is proposed that satisfies both the Euler relation and the thermodynamic differential relations, resolving a known spin-hydrodynamics tension.
