We develop the first causal and stable theory of a bulk-viscous relativistic pseudoplastic (or dilatant) fluid. This new formalism brings to light the rheological properties of several relativistic physical systems. Neutron star collisions can behave as a relativistic pseudoplastic material with viscous properties dictated by the non-conservation of lepton currents due to weak decay. Two-temperature relativistic plasmas, such as those surrounding supermassive galactic black holes, are predominantly pseudoplastic. Our framework can also be employed to construct novel viscous models for the evolution of the Universe with pseudoplastic or dilatant features.

  1. How Lorentz boosts reshape relaxation spectra

    gr-qc 2026-01 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Under an Onsager-type symmetry, boosted k=0 non-hydrodynamic relaxation rates of a relativistic fluid are bounded by a(1-v)/γ ≤ iω' ≤ b/[γ(1-v)] in terms of rest-frame bounds a,b and boost speed v.

  2. Extending Israel-Stewart theory: Causal bulk viscosity at large gradients

    gr-qc 2025-01 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    A new family of polytropic bulk-viscous fluids reduces to Israel-Stewart near equilibrium and stays causal, symmetric hyperbolic, and thermodynamically consistent for arbitrarily large viscous stresses.

  3. Non-Newtonian corrections to radiative viscosity: Israel-Stewart theory as a viscosity limiter

    astro-ph.HE 2024-11 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    The infinite Chapman-Enskog series for radiative shear viscosity is computed exactly for linear incompressible flows, and Israel-Stewart theory with shear-heat coupling is shown to reproduce the resulting non-Newtonia...

  4. Effective field theory of quasi-hydrodynamics from kinetic theory

    nucl-th 2026-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Linear quasi-hydrodynamics from any causal kinetic-like theory reduces, at leading order in the fast timescale, to transient hydrodynamics (Israel-Stewart or Cattaneo), with systematic higher-order corrections.

  5. Coherent quantum hairy black holes from gravitational decoupling: regularity, geodesics, and scalar ringdown

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gaussian-smearing the gravitational-decoupling hairy black hole produces a regular core and modified photon rings, lensing, and a claimed but absent ringdown spectrum.

  6. The diffusion equation is compatible with special relativity

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A relativistic kinetic theory (Vlasov–Fokker–Planck) has an exact subsector whose particle density evolves by Fick's law at all wavelengths, reconciling diffusion with causality and stability.

  7. A Resummed Hydrodynamic Description of Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions

    nucl-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A resummed hydrodynamic scheme with tunable caps on shear and bulk viscous stress is introduced; it reduces to standard second-order hydrodynamics for small stresses and is used to quantify flow-observable uncertainti...

  8. Noncovariant parabolic theories of relativistic diffusion

    gr-qc 2025-05 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A quantitative analysis shows that observer-dependent effects in a new relativistic diffusion theory scale like the square root of time, slower than standard truncation errors, yet remain finite as speeds approach light.

  9. TTE-CAM: Self-Explainable Class Activation Maps for Pretrained Black-Box CNNs

    cs.CV 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A test-time convolution-head replacement converts pretrained CNNs into self-explainable models that keep black-box accuracy and produce faithful class activation maps.
