Lectures on hydrodynamic fluctuations in relativistic theories
read the original abstract
These are pedagogical lecture notes on hydrodynamic fluctuations in normal relativistic fluids. The lectures discuss correlation functions of conserved densities in thermal equilibrium, interactions of the hydrodynamic modes, an effective action for viscous fluids, and the breakdown of the derivative expansion in hydrodynamics.

Schwinger-Keldysh effective theory of charge transport: redundancies and systematic $\omega/T$ expansion
Proves equivalence of redundant Goldstone and adjoint-matter formulations of SK EFTs for non-Abelian symmetries and extends both to all orders in ħω/T while classifying invariant kernels under DKMS and unitarity.
