abstract
We rigorously prove that, in any relativistic kinetic theory whose non-hydrodynamic sector has a finite gap, the Taylor series of all hydrodynamic dispersion relations has a finite radius of convergence. Furthermore, we prove that, for shear waves, such radius of convergence cannot be smaller than $1/2$ times the gap size. Finally, we prove that the non-hydrodynamic sector is gapped whenever the total scattering cross-section (expressed as a function of the energy) is bounded below by a positive non-zero constant. These results, combined with well-established covariant stability criteria, allow us to derive a rigorous upper bound on the shear viscosity of relativistic dilute gases.

The Lorentzian geometry of relaxation
Causality forces purely relaxational dispersion relations to follow spacelike trajectories on the Lorentzian {iω,ik} plane, producing universal bounds on diffusivity, viscosity, time-dilation deviations, and hydrodyna...

How Lorentz boosts reshape relaxation spectra
Under an Onsager-type symmetry, boosted k=0 non-hydrodynamic relaxation rates of a relativistic fluid are bounded by a(1-v)/γ ≤ iω' ≤ b/[γ(1-v)] in terms of rest-frame bounds a,b and boost speed v.

Effective field theory of quasi-hydrodynamics from kinetic theory
Linear quasi-hydrodynamics from any causal kinetic-like theory reduces, at leading order in the fast timescale, to transient hydrodynamics (Israel-Stewart or Cattaneo), with systematic higher-order corrections.

Relativistic transport near moving interfaces
Interface-localized linear solutions in relativistic media are superpositions of imaginary-frequency modes selected by intersecting the spectrum with the line iω = v ik.

Dispersion relations of relativistic radiation hydrodynamics
The paper derives analytic formulas for the damping and propagation of shear, heat, and sound waves in relativistic matter-plus-grey-radiation fluids, including a new sound-wave formula.

The quasi-normal modes of relativistic Fokker-Planck kinetic theory
The quasi-normal spectrum of ultrarelativistic Fokker-Planck kinetic theory consists of an exact diffusive hydrodynamic mode, continuous ballistic bands, and a hydrogenic discrete tower in three dimensions.
