I demonstrate that the concept of a non-equilibrium attractor can be extended beyond the lowest-order moments typically considered in hydrodynamic treatments. Using a previously obtained exact solution to the relaxation-time approximation Boltzmann equation for a transversally homogeneous and boost-invariant system subject to Bjorken flow, I derive an equation obeyed by all moments of the one-particle distribution function. Using numerical solutions, I show that, similar to the pressure anisotropy, all moments of the distribution function exhibit attractor-like behavior wherein all initial conditions converge to a universal solution after a short time with the exception of moments which are sensitive to modes with zero longitudinal momentum and high transverse momentum. In addition, I compute the exact solution for the distribution function itself on very fine lattices in momentum space and demonstrate that (a) an attractor for the full distribution function exists and (b) solutions with generic initial conditions relax to this solution, first at low momentum and later at high momentum.

Exact hydrodynamic attractor of an ultrarelativistic gas of hard spheres
A gas of hard spheres expanding in Bjorken flow has a constant Knudsen number, which yields an exact analytical hydrodynamic attractor and the first convergent gradient expansion in an expanding relativistic system.

Onset of Bjorken Flow in Quantum Evolution of the Massive Schwinger Model
In the 1+1D massive Schwinger model, tensor network simulation of a localized excitation reveals Bjorken-like hydrodynamic flow for small fermion mass, but not for large mass.

Quantum thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma
In a 1+1D Schwinger model, strong-coupling quark Wigner functions thermalize to quantum statistical averages, while weak-coupling scalar and axial components do not because of many-body scars, and the θ-vacuum angle c...

Flow in small systems in the EPOS4 approach for high-energy scatterings
In the EPOS4 framework, a symmetric initial parton distribution cannot reproduce the flat elliptic flow versus multiplicity seen in high-multiplicity pp collisions, whereas a two-center 'dipole' proton shape can.

Constraint on initial conditions of one-dimensional expanding fluids from nonlinear causality
Nonlinear causality constrains one-dimensional Bjorken-expanding viscous fluids to small inverse Reynolds numbers, giving minimum initial times of about 0.5 to 1 fm and maximum initial energy densities of about 5 to 3...
