Electronic transport in spin-polarized systems with impurity interactions and spin-dependent meanfields is discussed. The coupled quantum kinetic equations for the scalar and spin components for SU(2) are derived with special consideration of spin-orbit coupling and magnetic fields. Linearizing, the RPA spin and density dynamical responses to electric fields (polarized light) are preseented for arbitrary magnetic fields, Several known effects are described: spin-Hall, anomalous Hall and optical Hall effect, spin-heat coupling. New transport coefficients occur due to the selfconsistent precession direction. Clarifying the relative importance of meanfield and scattering correlations, new modes due to magnetic fields and spin-orbit coupling are found. (EPL, 104 (2013) 2700)
