Solving BDNK diffusion using physics-informed neural networks

Vicente Chomalí-Castro, Nick Clarisse, Nicki Mullins +1

In this work, we reformulate the relativistic BDNK (Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun) diffusion equation in flux-conservative form, and solve the resulting equations in D usi…

A new effective theory for stochastic relativistic hydrodynamics

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha

Thermal fluctuations are a fundamental feature of dissipative systems that are essential for understanding physics near the expected critical point of QCD and in small systems. Whe…

Effective action for relativistic hydrodynamics from Crooks fluctuation theorem

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha

A new effective theory framework for fluctuating hydrodynamics in the relativistic regime is derived using standard thermodynamical principles and general properties of non-equilib…

Modelling stochastic fluctuations in relativistic kinetic theory

Gabriel Soares Rocha, Lorenzo Gavassino, Nicki Mullins

Using the information current, we develop a Lorentz-covariant framework for modeling equilibrium fluctuations in relativistic kinetic theory in the grand-canonical ensemble. The re…

Causal and Stable Relativistic Hydrodynamic Fluctuations

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha +1

When two nuclei collide close to the speed of light, a fluid state known as the quark-gluon plasma is formed. Attempts to understand the dynamics of this fluid have generated signi…

Consistent inclusion of fluctuations in first-order causal and stable relativistic hydrodynamics

Lorenzo Gavassino, Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert

We construct, for the first time, a Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun (BDNK) theory for linear stochastic fluctuations, which is proved to be mathematically consistent, causal, and c…

A new approach to stochastic relativistic fluid dynamics from information flow

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Lorenzo Gavassino +1

We present a new general formalism for introducing thermal fluctuations in relativistic hydrodynamics, which incorporates recent developments on the causality and stability of rela…

Stochastic fluctuations in relativistic fluids: causality, stability, and the information current

Nicki Mullins, Mauricio Hippert, Jorge Noronha

We develop a general formalism for introducing stochastic fluctuations around thermodynamic equilibrium which takes into account, for the first time, recent developments on the cau…
