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…
Causality in dissipative relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
Raphael E. Hoult, Pavel Kovtun
We explore the relationship between linear and non-linear causality in theories of dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics. While for some fluid-dynamical theories, a linearized ca…
Causality and classical dispersion relations
Raphael E. Hoult, Pavel Kovtun
We explore the consequences of relativistic causality and covariant stability for short-wavelength dispersion relations in classical systems. For excitations described by a finite…
Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory for stable and causal relativistic hydrodynamics
Akash Jain, Pavel Kovtun
We construct stable and causal effective field theories (EFTs) for describing statistical fluctuations in relativistic diffusion and relativistic hydrodynamics. These EFTs are full…
