Relativistic viscous hydrodynamics, conformal invariance, and holography
We consider second-order viscous hydrodynamics in conformal field theories at finite temperature. We show that conformal invariance imposes powerful constraints on the form of the second-order corrections. By matching to the AdS/CFT calculations of correlators, and to recent results for Bjorken flow obtained by Heller and Janik, we find three (out of five) second-order transport coefficients in...
متن کاملRelativistic Conformal Magneto-Hydrodynamics from Holography
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study first-order relativistic viscous magnetohydrodynamics of (2+1) dimensional conformal magnetic fluids. It is shown that the first order magneto-hydrodynamics constructed following Landau and Lifshitz from the positivity of the entropy production is inconsistent. We propose additional contributions to the entropy motivated dissipative current and, corres...
متن کاملConformal Relativistic Viscous Hydrodynamics: Applications to RHIC
A new set of equations for relativistic viscous hydrodynamics that captures both weak-coupling and strong-coupling physics to second order in gradients has been developed recently. We apply this framework to bulk physics at RHIC, both for standard (Glaubertype) as well as for Color-Glass-Condensate initial conditions and show that the results do not depend strongly on the values for the second-...
متن کاملConformal Invariance for Non-Relativistic Field Theory
Momentum space Ward identities are derived for the amputated n-point Green’s functions in 3 + 1 dimensional non-relativistic conformal field theory. For n = 4 and 6 the implications for scattering amplitudes (i.e. on-shell amputated Green’s functions) are considered. Any scale invariant 2-to-2 scattering amplitude is also conformally invariant. However, conformal invariance imposes constraints ...
متن کاملun 2 00 8 Causal relativistic hydrodynamics for viscous fluids ‡
We report on recent results from VISH2+1, a code that solves the relativistic Israel-Stewart equations for causal viscous hydrodynamics for heavyion collisions with longitudinal boost invariance. We find that even “minimal” shear viscosity η/s = ~/(4π) leads to a large reduction of elliptic flow compared to ideal fluid dynamics. We explore systematically the sensitivity of this reduction to the...
