A Sorensen, K Agarwal, KW Brown, Z Chajęcki… - Progress in Particle and …, 2024 - Elsevier
The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

Hydrodynamic attractors in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions

J Jankowski, M Spaliński - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
One of the many physical questions that have emerged from studies of heavy-ion collisions
at RHIC and the LHC concerns the validity of hydrodynamic modelling at the very early …

Relativistic second-order dissipative spin hydrodynamics from the method of moments

N Weickgenannt, D Wagner, E Speranza, DH Rischke - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We derive relativistic second-order dissipative fluid-dynamical equations of motion for
massive spin-1/2 particles from kinetic theory using the method of moments. Besides the …

Can we make sense of dissipation without causality?

L Gavassino - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Relativity opens the door to a counterintuitive fact: A state can be stable to perturbations in
one frame of reference and unstable in another one. For this reason, the job of testing the …

Linearly stable and causal relativistic first-order spin hydrodynamics

N Weickgenannt - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We derive equations of motion for dissipative spin hydrodynamics from kinetic theory up to
first order in a gradient expansion. Choosing a specific form of the matching conditions …

Dispersion relations alone cannot guarantee causality

L Gavassino, M Disconzi, J Noronha - Physical review letters, 2024 - APS
We show that linear superpositions of plane waves involving a single-valued, covariantly
stable dispersion relation ω (k) always propagate outside the light cone unless ω (k)= a+ bk …

Relativistic hydrodynamic fluctuations from an effective action: Causality, stability, and the information current

N Mullins, M Hippert, L Gavassino, J Noronha - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Causality is necessary for retarded Green's functions to remain retarded in all inertial frames
in relativity, which ensures that dissipation of fluctuations is a Lorentz invariant concept. For …

Rigorous bounds on transport from causality

MP Heller, A Serantes, M Spaliński, B Withers - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We use causality to derive a number of simple and universal constraints on dispersion
relations, which describe the location of singularities of retarded two-point functions in …
