Preponderant Orbital Polarization in Relativistic Magnetovortical Matter

We establish thermodynamic stability and gauge invariance in the magnetovortical matter of Dirac fermions under the coexistent rotation and strong magnetic field. The corresponding partition function clarifies the importance of orbital angular momentum to bulk thermodynamics in addition to the conventional contribution from anomaly-related spin effects. In particular, we make an experimentally testable prediction that the orbital contribution should preponderate over the spin contribution, and thus flip the sign of the induced charge and current in the magnetovortical matter when the magnetic field strength is increased.
