Relativistic theories of interacting fields and fluids

چکیده
We investigate divergence-type theories describing the disipative interaction betwen a field and a fluid. We look for theories which, under equilibrium conditions, reduce to the theory of a Klein-Gordon scalar field and a perfect fluid. We show that the requirements of causality and positivity of entropy production put non-trivial constraints to the structure of the interaction terms. These theories provide a basis for the phenomonological study of the reheating period.

Variational Calculations for the Relativistic Interacting Fermion System at Finite Temperature: Application to Liquid 3He
In this paper, at first we have formulated the lowest order constrained variational method for the relativistic case of an interacting fermion system at finite temperature. Then we have used this formalism to calculate some thermodynamic properties of liquid in the relativistic regime. The results show that the difference between total energies of relativistic and non-relativistic cases of liqu...
متن کاملEvaporation of cosmological quark drops and relativistic radiative transfer.
We discuss the results of a full relativistic treatment of the hydrodynamics of disconnected quark regions during the final stages of the cosmological quark-hadron transition. In this study, which represents a further development of a previous analysis of the evaporation of cosmological quark drops, the effects of long range energy and momentum transfer via electromagnetically interacting parti...
متن کاملScale anomalies in nonrelativistic field theories in 2+1 dimensions.
From the one-loop effective potential for a gas of non-relativistic bosons in two spatial dimensions interacting via a δ-function potential at zero-temperature and finite chemical potential, the anomaly of the energy-momentum tensor follows directly. It is also similarly derived when the bosons have an additional Chern-Simons interaction. In the special case of anyons, the scale anomaly vanishe...
متن کاملNonlinear perturbations for dissipative and interacting relativistic fluids
We develop a covariant formalism to study nonlinear perturbations of dissipative and interacting relativistic fluids. We derive nonlinear evolution equations for various covectors defined as linear combinations of the spatial gradients of the local number of e-folds and of some scalar quantities characterizing the fluid, such as the energy density or the particle number density. For interacting...
متن کاملCold atom simulation of interacting relativistic quantum field theories.
We demonstrate that Dirac fermions self-interacting or coupled to dynamic scalar fields can emerge in the low energy sector of designed bosonic and fermionic cold atom systems. We illustrate this with two examples defined in two spacetime dimensions. The first one is the self-interacting Thirring model. The second one is a model of Dirac fermions coupled to a dynamic scalar field that gives ris...
