Abstract
It is usually believed that unlike the external magnetic field which one can set directly, vorticity is a property of the flow of particles, which is indirectly controlled by external fields and initial conditions. Using the curved-space technics it is shown that the influence of the vorticity on the relativistic chiral fermions can indeed be controlled directly.
