The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

We present a concise review of the recent development of relativistic hydrodynamics and its
applications to heavy-ion collisions. Theoretical progress on the extended formulation of …

We present the first generalization of Navier-Stokes theory to relativity that satisfies all of the
following properties:(a) the system coupled to Einstein's equations is causal and strongly …

A bstract Quasinormal modes and frequencies are the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a
non-Hermitian differential operator. They hold crucial significance in the physics of black …

We use causality to derive a number of simple and universal constraints on dispersion
relations, which describe the location of singularities of retarded two-point functions in …

A bstract We study black hole linear perturbation theory in a four-dimensional Schwarzschild
(anti) de Sitter background. When dealing with a positive cosmological constant, the …

High energy heavy ion collisions create quark gluon plasmas that behave like almost perfect
fluids. Very similar features to those that led to this insight have also been observed in …

Hot QCD physics studies the nuclear strong force under extreme temperature and densities.
Experimentally these conditions are achieved via high-energy collisions of heavy ions at the …

Important properties of a particle, wave or a statistical system depend on the form of a
dispersion relation (DR). Two commonly-discussed dispersion relations are the gapless …
