We consider an ideal Fermi gas of tachyonic thermal excitations as a continuous medium and establish when it satisfies the causality condition. At high temperature the sound speed is always subluminal $c_s<1$, but there is no stable form of…
We consider a Fermi gas of free tachyons as a continuous medium and find whether it satisfies the causality condition. There is no stable tachyon matter with the particle density below critical value $n_T$ and the Fermi momentum…
In contrast to Trojan and Vlasov [arXiv:1103.2276 (hep-ph)], it is found that an ideal Fermi gas of tachyons has a subluminous velocity of sound for any particle density and, therefore, the causality condition for a tachyon gas holds always…
We calculate the velocity of sound in an ideal gas of massive hadrons with non-vanishing baryon number. The gas is in thermal and chemical equilibrium. Also we show that the temperature dependence $T(\tau) \cong T_{0} \cdot ({\tau_{0} \over…
We report the continuum limits of the speed of sound, c_s, and the specific heat at constant volume, c_v, in quenched QCD at temperatures of 2Tc and 3Tc. At these temperatures, c_s is within 2-sigma of the ideal gas value, whereas c_v…
We calculate the speed of sound $c_s$ in an ideal gas of resonances whose mass spectrum is assumed to have the Hagedorn form $\rho(m) \sim m^{-a}\exp{bm}$, which leads to singular behavior at the critical temperature $T_c = 1/b$. With $a =…
The speed of sound ($c_s$) is studied to understand the hydrodynamical evolution of the matter created in heavy-ion collisions. The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy-ion collisions evolves from an initial QGP to the hadronic phase…
We consider an ideal gas of massive hadrons in thermal and chemical equilibrium. The gas expands longitudinally in an adiabatic way. This evolution for a baryonless gas reduces to a hydrodynamic expansion. Cooling process is parametrized by…
We show that a pair of conjectures raised in [11] concerning the construction of normal solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation are valid. This ensures that the results in [11] hold for any range of positive temperatures and that…
The speed of sound of simple dense fluids is shown to exhibit a pronounced freezing temperature scaling of the form $c_{\rm s}/v_{\rm T}\simeq \sqrt{\gamma} +\alpha (T_{\rm fr}/T)^{\beta}$, where $c_s$ is the speed of sound, $v_{\rm T}$ is…
The thermalization of a gas towards a Maxwellian velocity distribution with the background temperature is described by a kinetic relaxation model. The sum of the kinetic energy of the gas and the thermal energy of the background are…
We consider a system of many fermions with tachyonic energy spectrum \varepsilon_k=\sqrt{k^2-m^2} and clarify that tachyons with imaginary energy and low momentum (k<m) play the role of Dirac sea in a many-tachyon Fermi system and make…
Recently interest in calculations of the speed of sound in QCD under conditions like constant temperature $c^2_T$ or constant entropy per net baryon number $c^2_s$ arose in the discussion of experimental results coming from heavy ion…
Consistency conditions for nonminimally coupled $f(R)$ theories have been derived by requiring the absence of tachyons and instabilities in the scalar fluctuations. This note confirms these results and clarifies a subtlety regarding…
We investigate the difference between holographic dark energy, Chaplygin gas, and tachyon model with constant potential. For this purpose, we examine their squared speeds of sound which are evaluated to zeroth order in perturbation theory…
We show that the observed rotation curves of spiral galaxies constrain the sound speed of the dark matter to be $c_s < 10^{-4} c$, where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum. Using the Modified Chaplygin Gas as a representative example of a…
We evaluate the transport properties such as shear viscosity ($\eta$), bulk viscosity ($\zeta$) and their ratios over entropy density ($s$) for hadronic matter using relativistic non-extensive Boltzmann transport equation (NBTE) in…
By adopting the intermediate and power-law scale factors, we study the tachyon inflation with constant sound speed. We perform some numerical analysis on the perturbation and non-gaussianity parameters in this model and compare the results…
We discuss the limit T->0 of the relativistic ideal Fermi gas of luxons (particles moving with the speed of light) and tachyons (hypothetical particles faster than light) based on observations of our recent paper: K. Kowalski, J.…
Starting from a microcanonical statistical approach and special relativity, the relativistic transformations for temperature and pressure for an ideal gas of bradyons, luxons or tachyons is found. These transformations are in agreement with…
