The Emergence of a Branch-Cut Singularity in the Shear-Stress Response Function of Massless λφ⁴ Theory with Boltzmann Statistics
The shear-stress response function in massless λφ⁴ theory exhibits a branch-cut singularity along the entire positive imaginary frequency axis, even with classical Boltzmann statistics, indicating the presence of long-lived, non-hydrodynamic modes arising from the interaction's behavior at high energies.
