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 …

[HTML][HTML] Bounds on transport from hydrodynamic stability

L Gavassino - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
It was recently shown that the dispersion relations describing singularities of retarded two-
point functions in causal quantum field theories always satisfy the fundamental inequality Im …

Thermodynamic stability implies causality

L Gavassino, M Antonelli, B Haskell - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The stability conditions of a relativistic hydrodynamic theory can be derived directly from the
requirement that the entropy should be maximized in equilibrium. Here, we use a simple …

Thermodynamic stability in relativistic viscous and spin hydrodynamics

X Ren, C Yang, DL Wang, S Pu - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We have applied thermodynamic stability analysis to derive the stability and causality
conditions for conventional relativistic viscous hydrodynamics and spin hydrodynamics. We …

Simulating bulk viscosity in neutron stars. I. Formalism

G Camelio, L Gavassino, M Antonelli, S Bernuzzi… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The faithful inclusion of the effects of bulk viscosity induced by the presence of chemical
reactions is an important issue for simulations of core-collapse supernovae, binary neutron …

Symmetric-hyperbolic quasihydrodynamics

L Gavassino, M Antonelli, B Haskell - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We set up a general framework for systematically building and classifying, in the linear
regime, causal and stable dissipative hydrodynamic theories that, alongside with the usual …

Is relativistic hydrodynamics always symmetric-hyperbolic in the linear regime?

L Gavassino - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Close to equilibrium, the kinetic coefficients of a thermodynamic system must satisfy a set of
symmetry conditions, which follow from the Onsager-Casimir principle. Here, we show that, if …

Relativistic liquids: GENERIC or EIT?

L Gavassino, M Antonelli - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the GENERIC hydrodynamic theory for relativistic liquids formulated by Öttinger
and collaborators. We use the maximum entropy principle to derive its conditions for linear …

Gapless nonhydrodynamic modes in relativistic kinetic theory

L Gavassino - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
We provide rigorous criteria to determine whether the nonhydrodynamic sector of a
relativistic kinetic theory is gapless. These general criteria apply to both Boltzmann's …

Inverse-Reynolds-dominance approach to transient fluid dynamics

D Wagner, A Palermo, VE Ambruş - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We consider the evolution equations for the bulk viscous pressure, diffusion current, and
shear tensor derived within second-order relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics from kinetic …
