Michal Heller (Gent)
Relativistic Hydrodynamics and Causality

Abstract: 
In my talk I will discuss recently discovered implications of relativistic causality on transport. In particular, I will explain how causality in holographic QFTs explains the presence of short-lived quasinormal modes of dual black branes and, similarly, how causality forces upon us the known ways of formulating effective equations of motion for relativistic fluids. Finally, I will discuss a new way of thinking about relativistic transport by adopting a bootstrap perspective based on relativistic causality. Based on 2007.05524, 2212.07434 and 2305.07703.

About

This event is part of a regular series of meetings sponsored by Delta ITP with the objective of bringing together the theoretical physics communities in Amsterdam, Leiden, Utrecht and our sister nodes Groningen, Brussels (ULB and VUB) and Leuven. The topic of this meeting is holography and its applications to different physical systems. We encourage researchers from different areas in theoretical physics to participate!
