“…We see that longitudinal boost invariance imposes strong constraints on the number of independent variables of the distribution function and on the particular combination in which the dependent variables appear [19][20][21][22][30][31][32]. As we shall see in the following section, identifying these independent combinations of phase-space variables will be the key step in deriving the exact solution of the Boltzmann equation for an…”

We present an exact solution to the Boltzmann equation which describes a system undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal and azimuthally symmetric radial expansion for arbitrary shear viscosity to entropy density ratio. This new solution is constructed by considering the conformal map between Minkowski space and the direct product of three dimensional de Sitter space with a line.The resulting solution respects SO(3) q ⊗ SO(1, 1) ⊗ Z 2 symmetry. We compare the exact kinetic solution with exact solutions of the corresponding macroscopic equations that were obtained from the kinetic theory in ideal and second-order viscous hydrodynamic approximations. The macroscopic solutions are obtained in de Sitter space and are subject to the same symmetries used to obtain the exact kinetic solution.

“…[36] in which we presented a solution to the 0+1d Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation (RTA). We follow the method used in [37,38] (see also [39,40]) to exactly solve the one-dimensional boost-invariant kinetic equation with the collision term treated in the relaxation-time approximation. We extend the exact solution to the case that the relaxation time, τ eq , depends on proper time.…”

We exactly solve the one-dimensional boost-invariant Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation for arbitrary shear viscosity. The results are compared with the predictions of viscous and anisotropic hydrodynamics. Studying different non-equilibrium cases and comparing the exact kinetic-theory results to the second-order viscous hydrodynamics results we find that recent formulations of second-order viscous hydrodynamics agree better with the exact solution than the standard Israel-Stewart approach. Additionally, we find that, given the appropriate connection between the kinetic and anisotropic hydrodynamics relaxation times, anisotropic hydrodynamics provides a very good approximation to the exact relaxation time approximation solution.

“…23 [Stephen] is indeed a fiction, but one that functions to deconstruct another, far more problematic, fiction', namely, personalities like O'Reilly who utilise propagandistic techniques to unduly influence the beliefs and opinions of their viewers. 25 In the realm of gender roles and sexual identity, the parody-of-a-parody motif applies as well. Butler argues that no origin of gender and sexuality exists: they are parodies, compulsory repetitions of society's ideals that serve to reinforce these fictions.…”
