Kubo formulae for first-order spin hydrodynamics
We derive Kubo formulae for first-order spin hydrodynamics based on non-equilibrium statistical operators method. In first-order spin hydrodynamics, there are two new transport coefficients besides the ordinary ones appearing in first-order viscous hydrodynamics. They emerge due to the incorporation of the spin degree of freedom into fluids and the spin-orbital coupling. Zubarev's non-equilibrium statistical operator method can be well applied to investigate these quantum effects in fluids. The Kubo formulae, based on the method of non-equilibrium statistical operators, are related to equilibrium (imaginary-time) infrared Green's functions, and all the transport coefficients can be determined when the microscopic theory is specified.
