The effective field theorist's approach to gravitational dynamics

RA Porto - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
We review the effective field theory (EFT) approach to gravitational dynamics. We focus on
extended objects in long-wavelength backgrounds and gravitational wave emission from …

A semiclassical ramp in SYK and in gravity

P Saad, SH Shenker, D Stanford - arxiv preprint arxiv:1806.06840, 2018 - arxiv.org
In finite entropy systems, real-time partition functions do not decay to zero at late time.
Instead, assuming random matrix universality, suitable averages exhibit a growing" ramp" …

Effective field theory of dissipative fluids

M Crossley, P Glorioso, H Liu - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We develop an effective field theory for dissipative fluids which governs the
dynamics of long-lived gapless modes associated with conserved quantities. The resulting …

A quantum hydrodynamical description for scrambling and many-body chaos

M Blake, H Lee, H Liu - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer

Gapped momentum states

M Baggioli, M Vasin, V Brazhkin, K Trachenko - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
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 …

The complex life of hydrodynamic modes

S Grozdanov, PK Kovtun, AO Starinets… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We study analytic properties of the dispersion relations in classical hydrody-namics

Lindbladian dissipation of strongly-correlated quantum matter

L Sá, P Ribeiro, T Prosen - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
We propose the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Lindbladian as a paradigmatic solvable model of

Generalized global symmetries and dissipative magnetohydrodynamics

S Grozdanov, DM Hofman, N Iqbal - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
The conserved magnetic flux of U (1) electrodynamics coupled to matter in four dimensions
