abstract

This paper examines the mathematical properties of the relativistic diffusion equation. The peculiar solution which Hiscock and Lindblom identified as an instability is shown to emerge from an ill-posed initial value problem. These do not meet the mathematical conditions required for realistic physical problems and can not serve as an argument against the relativistic hydrodynamics of Landau and Lifshitz.

Noncovariant parabolic theories of relativistic diffusion

gr-qc · 2025-05-24 · accept · novelty 6.0

A quantitative analysis shows that observer-dependent effects in a new relativistic diffusion theory scale like the square root of time, slower than standard truncation errors, yet remain finite as speeds approach light.
