Pole skipping from universal hydrodynamics of (1+1)d QFTs
Richard A. Davison, Hanzhi Jiang
(1+1)d QFTs provide a tractable arena for understanding the emergence of hydrodynamics in thermal states. At high temperatures this process is governed by the weak breaking of conf…

Viscoelastic hydrodynamics of charged black holes
Richard A. Davison, André Oliveira Pinheiro
We study the dynamics of an isotropic, planar AdS black hole charged under a pair of two-form gauge potentials. We prove that long wavelength, small amplitude perturbations of this…

Universal thermalization dynamics in (1+1)d QFTs
Richard A. Davison, Luca V. Delacretaz
We identify the universal mechanism behind the thermalization of (1+1)d QFTs at high and low temperatures. Viewing these theories as CFTs perturbed by relevant or irrelevant deform…
