contents We investigate the radiative corrections on spin polarization of relativistic fermions induced by vortical fields in thermal-equilibrium QCD matter at weak coupling. Such corrections stem from the self-energy gradients in quantum kinetic theory, which are further obtained by a more systematic and general approach through the Keldysh equation. By applying the hard-thermal-loop approximation, we obtain new corrections upon the spin-polarization spectrum and also the axial-charge current in connection to the axial/chiral vortical effect for massive quarks up to the leading order of the QCD coupling. Further influence on spin alignment of vector mesons from similar effects is also analyzed.
