Hydrodynamics with multiple charges and holography

Liam Gladden, Victor Ivo, Pavel K. Kovtun +1

We establish the connection between thermodynamic and dynamical instabilities in relativistic hydrodynamics with multiple flavours of conserved U(1) charges. In theories with posit…

Instability in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at finite density

Liam Gladden, Victor Ivo, Pavel Kovtun +1

Equilibrium states of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be characterized by the temperature and three chemical potentials, corresponding to the subgr…

Hydrodynamic dispersion relations at finite coupling

Sašo Grozdanov, Andrei O. Starinets, Petar Tadić

By using holographic methods, the radii of convergence of the hydrodynamic shear and sound dispersion relations were previously computed in the supersymmetric Yang-M…

The complex life of hydrodynamic modes

Sašo Grozdanov, Pavel K. Kovtun, Andrei O. Starinets +1

We study analytic properties of the dispersion relations in classical hydrodynamics by treating them as Puiseux series in complex momentum. The radii of convergence of the series a…

On the convergence of the gradient expansion in hydrodynamics

Sašo Grozdanov, Pavel K. Kovtun, Andrei O. Starinets +1

Hydrodynamic excitations corresponding to sound and shear modes in fluids are characterised by gapless dispersion relations. In the hydrodynamic gradient expansion, their frequenci…

Adding new branches to the "Christmas tree" of the quasinormal spectrum of black branes

Sašo Grozdanov, Andrei O. Starinets

In holography, quasinormal spectra of black branes coincide with the poles of retarded finite-temperature correlation functions of a dual quantum field theory in the limit of infin…
