Description
My goal in this talk is to address some of the fundamental mathematical questions in the field of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics. This is an area that has witnessed progress within the physics community but for which many foundational mathematical questions remain open. Some of these problems, such as the study of causality, local well-posedness and breakdown of solutions, are crucial for for establishing solid theoretical foundations for the understanding of the quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter found in the very early universe. The talk is based on joint work with J. Noronha, F. Bemfica, M. Disconzi and M. Radosz.
