I explain a generalization of Bjorken flow where the medium has finite transverse size and expands both radially and along the beam axis. If one assumes that the equations of viscous hydrodynamics can be used, with p=epsilon/3 and zero bulk viscosity, then the flow I describe can be developed into an exact solution of the relativistic Navier-Stokes equations. The local four-velocity in the flow is entirely determined by the assumption of symmetry under a subgroup of the conformal group.

  1. Nonlinear response of flow harmonics in Gubser flow with participant-reaction planes mismatch

    nucl-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Analytic nonlinear response coefficients for v2 and v4 in Gubser flow are derived, including a participant-plane angle factor that modifies strength and sign of the response.

  4. The Noise of Vacuum

    astro-ph.CO 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A vacuum-decay model generates primordial curvature perturbations from spatially correlated stochastic noise rather than inflaton fluctuations, solving horizon and flatness problems with zero tensor-to-scalar ratio.
