abstract

Hydrodynamic excitations corresponding to sound and shear modes in fluids are characterised by gapless dispersion relations. In the hydrodynamic gradient expansion, their frequencies are represented by power series in spatial momenta. We investigate the analytic structure and convergence properties of the hydrodynamic series by studying the associated spectral curve in the space of complexified frequency and complexified spatial momentum. For the strongly coupled ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma, we use the holographic duality methods to demonstrate that the derivative expansions have finite non-zero radii of convergence. Obstruction to the convergence of hydrodynamic series arises from level-crossings in the quasinormal spectrum at complex momenta.

Analytic approaches to perturbations of strongly coupled Yang-Mills plasma

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Scalar-channel quasinormal modes of the planar AdS5 black brane are captured across all wave numbers by exact WKB quantisation, transseries resummation, and Seiberg–Witten analytic continuation, with resummed large-q predictions matching independent numerics to ten to thirty decimal places.

Linear response beyond hydrodynamic poles

hep-th · 2025-12-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Constructs a derivative expansion for linear response that matches multi-pole correlators while preserving hydrostaticity, then applies it to D3/D5 probe brane charge fluctuations to study quasihydrodynamic transport at large density.

Normal mode analysis within relativistic massive transport

hep-ph · 2025-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Normal mode analysis of the relativistic Boltzmann equation for massive particles reveals coupling between sound and heat channels, mass-dependent critical wavenumbers, and an infinite branch cut for Landau damping.

Instability of 5D Gauss-Bonnet black branes

hep-th · 2026-06-17 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Gauss-Bonnet black branes in five-dimensional AdS gravity are unstable when the Gauss-Bonnet coupling falls outside the conformal collider bounds, with unstable modes connected to boundary causality-violating modes by phase rotation of complex boundary momentum.
