Viscous hydrodynamics serves as a successful mesoscopic description of the Quark-Gluon Plasma produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. In order to investigate, how such an effective description emerges from the underlying microscopic dynamics we calculate the hydrodynamic and non-hydrodynamic modes of linear response in the sound channel from a first-principle calculation in kinetic theory. We do this with a new approach wherein we discretize the collision kernel to directly calculate eigenvalues and eigenmodes of the evolution operator. This allows us to study the Green's functions at any point in the complex frequency space. Our study focuses on scalar theory with quartic interaction and we find that the analytic structure of Green's functions in the complex plane is far more complicated than just poles or cuts which is a first step towards an equivalent study in QCD kinetic theory.

Imaging non-hydrodynamic modes with jet wakes
In the long-wavelength limit, jet-wake angular moments with ℓ≥3 vanish in hydrodynamics and directly image the non-hydrodynamic relaxation spectrum of the medium.

Far from equilibrium hydrodynamics of nonthermal fixed points
Nonthermal fixed points support hydrodynamic excitations described by time-dependent shear viscosity and relaxation time that both grow linearly with time for the direct energy cascade.

Relaxation for massive particles: transport and causality
The paper derives closed-form mass-dependent transport coefficients for massive RTA gases and proposes that the discontinuity across the correlator cut defines an effective lightcone velocity.

Kinetic Theory of Quasiparticles, Retarded Correlators and Hydrodynamics
For a massive Maxwell-Boltzmann gas in the relaxation-time approximation, finite mass removes the propagating sound mode, leaving purely imaginary modes, while shear and diffusion modes stay close to the massless results.
