Causal first-order hydrodynamics from kinetic theory and holography

Causal first-order hydrodynamics from kinetic theory and holography

We show how causal relativistic Navier-Stokes equations arise from the relativistic Boltzmann equation: the causality is preserved via a judicious choice of the zero modes of the collision operator. A completely analogous procedure may be used to extract causal hydrodynamics from the fluid-gravity correspondence: again, causality of the hydrodynamic equations …
