Snowmass Theory Frontier: Effective Field Theory
Matthew Baumgart, Fady Bishara, Tomas Brauner +34
We summarize recent progress in the development, application, and understanding of effective field theories and highlight promising directions for future research. This Report is p…
Temperature in relativistic fluids
Pavel Kovtun
For static matter in a gravitational field, different conventions for equilibrium local temperature exist in the classic physics literature. We illustrate the difference between tw…
Snowmass White Paper: Effective Field Theories for Condensed Matter Systems
Tomas Brauner, Sean A. Hartnoll, Pavel Kovtun +6
We review recent progress and a number of future directions for applications of effective field theory methods to condensed matter systems broadly defined. Our emphasis is on areas…
Causal first-order hydrodynamics from kinetic theory and holography
Raphael E. Hoult, Pavel Kovtun
We show how causal relativistic Navier-Stokes equations arise from the relativistic Boltzmann equation: the causality is preserved via a judicious choice of the zero modes of the c…
Hydrodynamic effective field theory and the analyticity of hydrostatic correlators
Akash Jain, Pavel Kovtun, Adam Ritz +1
We study one-loop corrections to retarded and symmetric hydrostatic correlation functions within the Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory framework for relativistic hydrodynami…
Non-universality of hydrodynamics
Akash Jain, Pavel Kovtun
We investigate the effects of stochastic interactions on hydrodynamic correlation functions using the Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory. We identify new "stochastic transpor…
