  Following up on recent work in the context of ordinary fluids, we study the
equilibrium partition function of a 3+1 dimensional superfluid on an arbitrary
stationary background spacetime, and with arbitrary stationary background gauge
fields, in the long wavelength expansion. We argue that this partition function
is generated by a 3 dimensional Euclidean effective action for the massless
Goldstone field. We parameterize the general form of this action at first order
in the derivative expansion. We demonstrate that the constitutive relations of
relativistic superfluid hydrodynamics are significantly constrained by the
requirement of consistency with such an effective action. At first order in the
derivative expansion we demonstrate that the resultant constraints on
constitutive relations coincide precisely with the equalities between
hydrodynamical transport coefficients recently derived from the second law of
thermodynamics.
