Linear lattice gauge theory is based on link variables that are arbitrary complex or real $N\times N$ matrices, in distinction to the usual (non-linear) formulation with unitary or orthogonal matrices. For a large region in parameter space…

The magnetic connection theorem of ideal Magnetohydrodynamics by Newcomb [Newcomb W.A., Ann. Phys., 3, 347 (1958)] and its covariant formulation are rederived and reinterpreted in terms of a "time resetting" projection that accounts for the…
Hydrodynamic fluctuations at non-zero temperature can cause slow relaxation toward equilibrium even in observables which are not locally conserved. A classic example is the stress-stress correlator in a normal fluid, which, at zero…
