Title: Relativistic hydrodynamic attractors with broken symmetries: non-conformal and non-homogeneous

Abstract

Standard textbooks will state that hydrodynamics requires near-equilibrium to be applicable. Recently, however, out-of-equilibrium attractor solutions for hydrodynamics have been found in kinetic theory and holography in systems with a high degree of symmetry, suggesting the possibility of a genuine out-of-equilibrium formulation of hydrodynamics. This work demonstrates that attractor solutions also occur in non-conformal kinetic theory and spatially non-homogeneous systems, potentially having important implications for the interpretation of experimental data in heavy-ion and proton-proton collisions and relativistic fluid dynamics as a whole.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Scaling variables A1, A2 for non-conformal kinetic theory in Bjorken flow with Λ0 = 1, $\tau$R = 0.1/T as a function of inverse gradient strength Γ. Note that for A2, scaling the gradient strength with the sound attenuation length implies that the Navier-Stokes result corresponds to an areamore » rather than a single curve. The curves labeled `Attractor LO approx.' are generated by solving eq. (2.7) for ξ0($\tau$0) and evaluating A1, A2 using (2.8).« less
