We introduce dissipative effects in the effective field theory of hydrodynamics. We do this in a model-independent fashion by coupling the long-distance degrees of freedom explicitly kept in the effective field theory to a generic sector that “lives in the fluid,” which corresponds physically to the microscopic constituents of the fluid. At linear order in perturbations, the symmetries, the derivative expansion, and the assumption that this microscopic sector is thermalized allow us to…

Theory of Diffusive Fluctuations.
TLDR
The recently developed effective field theory of fluctuations around thermal equilibrium is used to compute late-time correlation functions of conserved densities and it is found that the diffusive pole is shifted in the presence of nonlinear hydrodynamic self-interactions.

TLDR
The effective Boltzmann equation is valid even at very high temperature where the thermal lifetime and mean free path are short compared to the Compton wavelength of the fundamental particles.

Hydrodynamics with triangle anomalies.
TLDR
It is shown that a hitherto discarded term in the conserved current is not only allowed by symmetries, but is in fact required by triangle anomalies and the second law of thermodynamics, which leads to a number of new effects, one of which is chiral separation in a rotating fluid at nonzero chemical potential.
