An alternative approach to solving the Landau-Khalatnikov problem on one-dimensional stage of expansion of hot hadronic matter created in collisions of high-energy particles or nuclei is suggested. Solving the relativistic hydrodynamics equations by the Riemann method yields a representation for Khalatnikovs potential which satisfies explicitly the condition of symmetry of the matter flow with respect to reflection in the central plane of the initial distribution of matter. New exact relationships are obtained for evolution of the density of energy in the center of the distribution and for laws of motion of boundaries between the general solution and the rarefaction waves. The rapidity distributions are derived in the Landau approximation with account of the pre-exponential factor.

A finite unbound system which is equilibrium in one reference frame is in general nonequilibrium in another frame. This is a consequence of the relative character of the time synchronization in the relativistic physics. This puzzle was a prime motivation of the Cooper--Frye approach to the freeze-out in relativistic hydrodynamics. Solution of the puzzle reveals that the Cooper--Frye recipe is far not a unique phenomenological method that meets requirements of energy-momentum conservation. Alternative freeze-out recipes are considered and discussed.
We derive the Landau-Khalatnikov-Frandkin transformation (LKFT) for the fermion propagator in quantum electrodynamics (QED) described within a brane-world inspired framework where photons are allowed to move in $d_gamma$ space-time (bulk) dimensions, while electrons remain confined to a $d_e$-dimensional brane, with $d_e < d_gamma$, referred to in the literature as reduced quantum electrodynamics, RQED$_{d_gamma,d_e}$. Specializing to the case of graphene, namely, RQED$_{4,3}$ with massless fermions, we derive the nonperturbative form of the fermion propagator starting from its bare counterpart and then compare its weak coupling expansion to known one- and two-loop perturbative results. The agreement of the gauge-dependent terms of order $alpha$ and $alpha^{2}$ is reminiscent from the structure of LKFT in ordinary QED in arbitrary space-time dimensions and provides strong constraints for the multiplicative renormalizability of RQED$_{d_gamma,d_e}$.
We derive the phonon damping rate due to the four-phonon Landau-Khalatnikov process in low temperature strongly interacting Fermi gases using quantum hydrodynamics, correcting and extending the original calculation of Landau and Khalatnikov [ZhETF, 19 (1949) 637]. Our predictions can be tested in state-of-the-art experiments with cold atomic gases in the collisionless regime.
We explore the dependence of fermion propagators on the covariant gauge fixing parameter in quantum electrodynamics (QED) with the number of spacetime dimensions kept explicit. Gauge covariance is controlled by the the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformation (LKFT). Utilizing its group nature, the LKFT for a fermion propagator in Minkowski space is solved exactly. The special scenario of 3D is used to test claims made for general cases. When renormalized correctly, a simplification of the LKFT in 4D has been achieved with the help of fractional calculus.
The classical theory of modulation instability (MI) attributed to Bespalov-Talanov in optics and Benjamin-Feir for water waves is just a linear approximation of nonlinear effects and has limitations that have been corrected using the exact weakly nonlinear theory of wave propagation. We report results of experiments in both, optics and hydrodynamics, which are in excellent agreement with nonlinear theory. These observations clearly demonstrate that MI has wider band of unstable frequencies than predicted by the linear stability analysis. The range of areas where the nonlinear theory of MI can be applied is actually much larger than considered here.
