I review the causal relativistic thermodynamics developed by Israel and Stewart, and discuss some applications in cosmology and astrophysics. The lectures begin with an overview of relativistic fluid dynamics (in a covariant formalism) and equilibrium thermodynamics. Causal bulk viscosity in cosmology is considered in detail, including some new results.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. Eckart heat-flux applicability in $F(\Phi,X)R$ theories and the existence of temperature gradients

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Eckart heat flux holds for all timelike scalar configurations in F(Φ,X)R + G theories if and only if F_X ≡ 0, reducing the theory to a Jordan-like subclass of Horndeski.

  2. Relativistic dissipative fluids in the trace-fixed particle frame: Hyperbolicity, causality, and stability

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A first-order relativistic dissipative fluid theory in the trace-fixed particle frame is shown to be hyperbolic, causal, and stable for hard-sphere and hard-disk gases under an explicit inequality.

  3. Post-Inflationary Constraints on Nonminimally Coupled Quintessential Inflation

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational-wave constraints on the reheating temperature rule out single-exponential nonminimally coupled quintessential inflation and require a double-exponential coupling that predicts thawing dark energy with w0...

  4. Constraints on the Phenomenology of Dissipative Cosmological Memory from BAO (BOSS + DESI 2024) and Pantheon+ Data

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A three-parameter dissipative memory model is tested on BOSS, DESI 2024, and Pantheon+ data and found to be indistinguishable from Lambda CDM with epsilon below 0.05 at 95 percent CL for low redshifts.

  5. Towards a causal effective thermodynamics of scalar-tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Extends scalar-tensor gravity thermodynamics to causal Israel-Stewart model via timelike heat flux ansatz, decoupling T and K while preserving GR equilibrium.

  6. Thermal channels of scalar and tensor waves in Jordan-frame scalar--tensor gravity

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scalar and tensor perturbations in Jordan-frame scalar-tensor gravity admit an exact linear-order Eckart effective-fluid description, with gravitational-wave damping governed by the scalar sector's transverse-traceles...

  7. New interpretation of the Minkowski limit of $R^2$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The Minkowski limit of pure R² gravity is reinterpreted as a thermal singularity via scalar-tensor to Eckart fluid analogy, showing infinite departure from GR rather than recovery.

  8. Traversable Wormhole De-singularization: Almost $\eta$-Ricci-Yamabe Solitons in Static Spherically Symmetric Imperfect Fluid Spacetimes

    gr-qc 2026-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper argues that an almost η-Ricci-Yamabe soliton can turn a static black hole into a traversable wormhole, but the argument reduces to coordinate identities and an inconsistent horizon condition.

  9. Causality and thermodynamics in anisotropic fluids

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A particle-frame extension of Eckart and Israel-Stewart thermodynamics to anisotropic fluids, with an explicit anisotropic entropy-production term.

  10. On the Field Theoretical Description of an Alternative Model to Generalized Chaplygin Gas and its Thermodynamic Behaviour

    gr-qc 2024-12 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The authors reconstruct quintessence, k-essence, and DBI scalar-field potentials for the sinc dark-energy fluid, but their thermodynamic phase transition is built from arbitrary constants and the model is disfavored b...

  11. Cosmological scenario based on the particle creation and holographic equipartition

    gr-qc 2019-08 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    A cosmological scenario with particle creation maintaining holographic equipartition yields exponential, radiation, power-law, and de Sitter scale factors, but leaves transition mechanisms and parameter constraints un...
