We study the effective Lagrangian, at leading order in derivatives, that describes the propagation of density and metric fluctuations in a fluid composed by an arbitrary number of interacting components. Our results can be applied to any…
We show that the matter Lagrangian of an ideal fluid equals (up to a sign -depending on its definition and on the chosen signature of the metric) the total energy density of the fluid, i.e. rest energy density plus internal energy density.
We develop a bottom-up formulation of spin-kinetic theory for hot and/or dense plasmas. We introduce scalar and axial-vector phase-space functions as dynamical variables that parametrize both spin-averaged and spin-dependent distribution…
The concept of elementary particle rests on the idea that it is a physical system with no excited states, so that all possible states of the particle are just kinematical modifications of any one of them. In this way instead of describing…
