Hydrodynamics without a relaxation gap: memory effects, nonlocality, and superdiffusion
Lorenzo Gavassino, Sukanya Mitra, Rajeev Singh
By studying a simple model of relativistic particles propagating through a background medium with an energy-dependent relaxation time that is unbounded from above, we investigate h…
Lorentz-boosted diffusion: initial value formulation and exact solutions
Lorenzo Gavassino
It is well known that the diffusion equation, when treated as a stand-alone partial differential equation, exhibits exponential instabilities in boosted frames, which render the co…
Life on a closed timelike curve
Lorenzo Gavassino
We study the internal dynamics of a hypothetical spaceship traveling on a close timelike curve in an axially symmetric universe. We choose the curve so that the generator of evolut…
Proving the Lorentz invariance of the entropy and the covariance of thermodynamics
Lorenzo Gavassino
The standard argument for the Lorentz invariance of the thermodynamic entropy in equilibrium is based on the assumption that it is possible to perform an adiabatic transformation w…
The zeroth law of thermodynamics in special relativity
Lorenzo Gavassino
We critically revisit the definition of thermal equilibrium, in its operational formulation, provided by standard thermodynamics. We show that it refers to experimental conditions…
