Erratum: Anomalous spin polarization from turbulent color fields (Physical Review D (2022) 105 (011901) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.105.L011901)

In this paper, Eq. (18) is missing a contribution from the surface term, which can be omitted when computing the axial current but has to be included when evaluating the quark spectrum. The correct form of the equation is (Formula Presented). We refer to [1], Eqs. (84)–(91), for details of the derivation. The corrected results do not change our qualitative estimate for the spin alignment of vector mesons. In summary, the conclusion in the original paper remains unchanged.
