The existing framework is reformulated to obtain a differential equation directly connecting the particle spin tensor with the effective mass. It reflects the conservation of the total angular momentum in a system. In general, we find that the gradients of mass act as a source of the spin polarization, although this effect is absent for simple boost-invariant dynamics.en-USWigner functionSpin polarizationSemiclassical expansionSpacetime-dependent massVanishing spin tensorPolarization of spin-1/2 particles with effective spacetime dependent massese-Printe-Print123456789/615
