abstract

The success of relativistic hydrodynamics as an essential part of the phenomenological description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC has motivated a significant body of theoretical work concerning its fundamental aspects. Our review presents these developments from the perspective of the underlying microscopic physics, using the language of quantum field theory, relativistic kinetic theory, and holography. We discuss the gradient expansion, the phenomenon of hydrodynamization, as well as several models of hydrodynamic evolution equations, highlighting the interplay between collective long-lived and transient modes in relativistic matter. Our aim to provide a unified presentation of this vast subject -- which is naturally expressed in diverse mathematical languages -- has also led us to include several new results on the large-order behaviour of the hydrodynamic gradient~expansion.

Dissipative non-Abelian fluids from Scherk-Schwarz dimensional reduction

hep-th · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Scherk-Schwarz reduction of a neutral viscous conformal fluid yields a dissipative colored fluid in lower dimensions with explicit maps for equation of state, sound speed, color currents, entropy current, and first-order transport coefficients including η, τ, and κ.

Causal UV completions of relativistic hydrodynamics

hep-th · 2026-05-20 · accept · novelty 7.0

Any stand-alone dissipative hydrodynamic EFT is acausal; causal UV completions exist that preserve the exact IR hydrodynamic mode for subluminal sound speed and finite gradient-expansion radius.

Cumulant dynamics in finite-memory diffusion

hep-th · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Finite current relaxation introduces memory effects that suppress, shift, and reshape non-monotonic cumulant behavior relative to instantaneous equilibrium and Fickian diffusion, most visibly in higher-order cumulants.

Energy loss of heavy-flavor quarks in color string medium

hep-ph · 2025-09-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Preliminary simulations show charm quarks lose significantly less transverse momentum in a fluctuating color string medium than in the hydrodynamic expansion of the EPOS4HQ model.

Effective Field Theories for Material Media

hep-th · 2026-07-07 · accept · novelty 4.0

Spacetime-symmetry-breaking Goldstone EFTs systematically describe bulk and localized excitations of solids, fluids, and superfluids, with new thermodynamic identifications and corrected scattering rates.
