Normal mode analysis within relativistic massive transport
Xin Lin, Qiu-Ze Sun, Xin-Hui Wu +1
In this paper, we address the normal mode analysis on the linearized Boltzmann equation for massive particles in the relaxation time approximation. One intriguing feature of massiv…
Analytical Solution of the Nonlinear Relativistic Boltzmann Equation
Jin Hu
We provide an exact analytical solution to the nonlinear relativistic Boltzmann equation for a homogeneous, anisotropically scattering massless gas. Utilizing a BKW-like trial solu…
First-order spin magnetohydrodynamics
Zhe Fang, Koichi Hattori, Jin Hu
Based on recent papers, we discuss the formulation of the first-order relativistic spin magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with the totally antisymmetric spin current and properties of the…
Anisotropic linear waves and breakdown of the momentum expansion in spin magnetohydrodynamics
Zhe Fang, Koichi Hattori, Jin Hu
We formulate spin magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) by including the magnetic-flux and total angular momentum conservation laws in the hydrodynamic framework. To specify the local angular…
Relaxation time approximation revisited and non-analytical structure in retarded correlators
Jin Hu
In this paper, we give a rigorous mathematical justification for the relaxation time approximation (RTA) model. We find that only the RTA with an energy-independent relaxation time…
