Causal Thermodynamics in Relativity
read the original abstract
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.

First-order thermodynamics of multi-scalar-tensor gravity
Multi-scalar-tensor gravity admits an exact covariant thermodynamic interpretation as an imperfect fluid whose heat flux involves a coupling-derived factor χ and a residual gradient sector, yielding multi-field therma...

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

Thermodynamic behavior of cosmological models with fractional entropy
Fractional entropy on the apparent horizon yields stable modified cosmology that fits late-time data best at α near 2, shifting H0 upward as α decreases.
