We argue that an ensemble of backgrounds best understands hydrodynamic dispersion relations in a medium with few degrees of freedom and is therefore subject to strong thermal fluctuations. In the linearized regime, dispersion relations become describeable by polynomials with random coefficients. We give a short review of this theory and perform a numerical study of the distribution of the roots of polynomials whose coefficients are of the order of a Knudsen series but fluctuate in accordance with canonical fluctuations of temperature. We find that, remarkably, the analytic structure of the poles of fluctuating dispersion relations is very different from deterministic ones, particularly regarding the distribution of imaginary parts with respect to real components. We argue that this provides evidence that hydrodynamic behavior persists, and is enhanced, by non-perturbative background fluctuations.

  1. Gaussian generally covariant hydrodynamics

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Gaussian stochastic partition function constrained by gravitational Ward identities yields a proposed generally covariant fluctuating hydrodynamics in which flow is an approximate Killing vector.

  2. Lorentz-Covariant Spectral Bounds from Thermal Quantum Field Theory: Retarded Green's Functions, Kubo Relations, and Holographic Constraints

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper derives Lorentz-covariant bounds on boosted-frame non-hydrodynamic relaxation rates from thermal QFT axioms, and shows in a holographic N=4 SYM plasma that relaxation speeds up under boost rather than slowing down.

  3. Causality of polarizeable dissipative fluids from Lagrangian hydrodynamics

    nucl-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a Lagrangian model of polarized dissipative fluids, causality couples the spin, shear, and bulk relaxation times through inequalities that can make polarization mask viscosity.
