Causality and stability in first-order conformal anisotropic hydrodynamics
arXiv:2304.14563 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.056004
Abstract
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 causal behavior in the nonlinear regime with or without general relativity coupling, and we derive and analyze the constraints on transport coefficients imposed by causality. We demonstrate the causal and stable behavior of our theory in specific cases, including the discussion of nonlinear causality as well as stability for linearized perturbations. We apply our newly developed first-order anisotropic theory to the Bjorken flow and show how causality and stability impose constraints on the behavior of the early-time attractor.
