Title: Gapless non-hydrodynamic modes in relativistic kinetic theory
(Submitted on 18 Apr 2024)
Abstract: We rigorously prove, for the first time, that the non-hydrodynamic sector is gapless in any relativistic kinetic theory whose scattering cross-section decays to zero at large energies. In fact, if particles with very high energy (compared to the temperature) are free streaming, we can use them to build hot non-hydrodynamic waves, which live longer than any hydrodynamic wave. Since many standard cross-sections in quantum field theory vanish at high energies, the existence of these non-thermal long-lived waves is a rather general feature of relativistic systems.
