Polalrized reservoirs in dynamics of polariton condensation

We review the problem of description of the dynamics of driven-disspipative spinor polariton condensates, focusing on the terms corresponding to the coupling between a macroscopic wavefunction of the condensdate and incoherent excitonic reservoir created by a non-resonant pump. We demonstrate that the existing version of the theory breaks down in case, when reservoir has non-zero components of the Stokes vector corresponding to in-plane linear polarization. The polarization invariant theory of reservoir to condensate coupling is formulated with use of the spin density matrix formalism.
