We formulate the first-order dissipative anisotropic hydrodynamical theory for a relativistic conformal uncharged fluid, which generalizes the Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun first-order viscous fluid framework. Our approach maintains…

The standard formula, due to Spiegel, for the smoothing of temperature fluctuations by radiative transfer is unstable in relativity. This is due to the fact that Spiegel neglected the transit time of light, thereby allowing the transport…

In this work, we have exclusively employed the linear stability analysis at ultra-high boost on two well-known stable-causal theories - second-order MIS and first-order BDNK, to identify the region of parameter space over which they are…

We discuss our recent study of local quantum mechanical uncertainty relations in quantum many body systems. These lead to fundamental bounds for quantities such as the speed, acceleration, relaxation times, spatial gradients and the…

We study causal hydrodynamics (Israel-Stewart theory) of gauge theory plasmas from the AdS/CFT duality. Causal hydrodynamics requires new transport coefficients (relaxation times) and we compute them for a number of supersymmetric gauge…

We propose a first-order theory of relativistic dissipative fluids in the trace-fixed particle frame, which is similar to Eckart's frame except that the temperature is determined by fixing the trace of the stress-energy tensor. Our theory…

In this work, we provide a novel method to constrain the causal parameter space of a relativistic hydrodynamic system exclusively from its linear stability analysis at non-zero momenta. Our approach exploits the Lorentz-invariant stability…

We construct a causal and covariantly stable kinetic model whose spectrum at real wavenumbers $k$ reproduces any rest-frame stable dissipative dispersion relation $\omega(k)$ via suitable initialization of the microscopic degrees of…

We study uncharged Rindler hydrodynamics at second order in the derivative expansion. The equation of state of the theory is given by a vanishing equilibrium energy density. We derive relations among the transport coefficients by employing…

Let an infinite, homogeneous, many-body quantum system be unitarily evolved for a long time from a state where two halves are independently thermalized. One says that a non-equilibrium steady state emerges if there are nonzero steady…

It is well known that the standard transport equations violate causality when gradients are large or when temporal variations are rapid. We derive a modified set of transport equations that satisfy causality. These equations are obtained…
