We provide rigorous criteria to determine whether the non-hydrodynamic sector of a relativistic kinetic theory is gapless. These general criteria apply to both Boltzmann's equation and approximate models thereof, provided that the latter are consistent with thermodynamic principles. As an application of these criteria, we prove that the non-hydrodynamic sector is gapless whenever the scattering cross-section decays to zero at large energies. Physically, this happens because, if particles with very high energy (compared to the temperature) are free streaming, we can use them to build hot non-hydrodynamic waves, which live longer than any hydrodynamic wave. Since many standard cross-sections in quantum field theory vanish at high energies, the existence of these non-thermal long-lived waves is a rather general feature of relativistic systems.

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.

Attractors Without Scaling: Adiabatic Hydrodynamization With and Without Inelastic Scattering
Including inelastic scattering in a simplified gluon kinetic theory speeds up hydrodynamization, and attractors appear through gapped eigenstates of an effective Hamiltonian even without pre-thermal scaling.

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.
