We introduce dissipative effects in the effective field theory of hydrodynamics. We do this in a model-independent fashion by coupling the long-distance degrees of freedom explicitly kept in the effective field theory to a generic sector that "lives in the fluid", which corresponds physically to the microscopic constituents of the fluid. At linear order in perturbations, the symmetries, the derivative expansion, and the assumption that this microscopic sector is thermalized, allow us to characterize the leading dissipative effects at low frequencies via three parameters only, which correspond to bulk viscosity, shear viscosity, and--in the presence of a conserved charge--heat conduction. Using our methods we re-derive the Kubo relations for these transport coefficients.

  1. Higher-Dimensional Black Holes and Effective Field Theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higher-dimensional spinning black holes generally have nonzero scalar tidal Love numbers, with patterns of zeroes in special limits, computed via point-particle EFT matching.

  2. Gauging Open EFTs from the top down

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives gauge-invariant influence functionals for photons and Stueckelberg fields in open U(1) gauge EFTs via BRST on the in-in contour after integrating out matter.

  3. Schwinger-Keldysh effective action for hydrodynamics with approximate symmetries

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The axial charge relaxation coefficient in the Schwinger-Keldysh effective theory of QCD must be of second order in the quark mass, Γ_A = γ_A m_q^2, subleading in the broken phase and leading in the restored phase.
