After briefly reviewing recent developments in the field, we show how far-from-equilibrium hydrodynamics may be systematically defined, for arbitrary flow profiles, in terms of a generalized tensorial expansion with transport coefficients that contain an all order resummation in gradients. We discuss how this approach naturally relates to hydrodynamic attractor solutions found both at weak...

We investigate the impact of hydrodynamic fluctuations on correlation functions of a relativistic fluid with a conserved U(1) charge. The kinetic equations for the two-point functions of pressure, momentum and heat energy densities are derived within the framework of stochastic hydrodynamics. The leading non-analytic contributions to the energy-momentum tensor as well as the U(1) current are...

To better understand the dynamics of initial stages in heavy-ion collisions, we perform classical-statistical simulations of SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. We find that highly occupied non-Abelian plasmas approach the same 2+1D self-similar state at late times of their far-from-equilibrium evolution, irrespective of details of their initial conditions, and we determine the scaling...

We map the infrared dynamics of a relativistic single component (N=1) interacting scalar field theory to that of nonrelativistic complex scalar fields. The Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation, describing the real time dynamics of single component ultracold Bose gases, is obtained at first nontrivial order in an expansion proportional to the powers of λϕ^2/m^2 where λ, ϕ and m are the coupling...

In holographic heavy ion collisions it is possible to follow both the energy density and a globally conserved (baryon) number density throughout the evolution, dual to a metric and Maxwell field in the dual bulk theory, respectively. At infinite coupling, past work has shown that after the collision the baryon number ends up around mid-rapidity, which is different from high energy heavy ion...

In this work, we implement an effective kinetic theory based scattering kernel in the anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydro) formalism. We compare the realistic kernel results to those obtained from aHydro with the Anderson-Witting scattering kernel (RTA). For the purpose of this study, we consider a conformal system undergoing transversally-homogenous and boost-invariant Bjorken expansion. The...
