Considering the temperature of moving bodies, the easier question is to answer,
a
l what is the apparent spectral temperature. In this case a spectral parameter is
c
transformed if the thermalized source is moving with respect to the observer (de-

tector system), andthe transformationrule canbe derivedfromthat of the energy
c
i and momentum in the co-moving system.
s
y This has been knownfrom the beginnings of the theory of special relativity and
h never has been seriously challenged. An essentially tougher problem is to under-
p stand the relativistic thermalization: what is the intensive parameter governing
[
the state with energy exchange equilibrium between two, relatively moving bodies
2 in the framework of special relativity. In particular how this general temperature
v shouldtransformandhow does it depend on the speed ofthe motion. Here several
0 answers has been historically offered, practically including all possibilities.

PlanckandEinsteinconcludedthatmovingbodiesarecoolerbyaLorentzfactor
6
[1, 2, 3], first Blanu˘sa then Ott has challenged this opinion [4, 5] by stating that
1
. on the contrary, such bodies are hotter by a Lorentz factor. During later disputes
5
several authors supported one or the other view (see e.g. [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
0
9 13] and the references therein) and also some new opinions emerged. Landsberg
0 argued for unchanged values of the temperature [14, 15]. Other authors observed
: that for a thermometer in equilibrium with black body radiation the temperature
v
i transformation is related to the Doppler formula [16, 17, 18, 19, 20], therefore the
X
measured temperature seems to depend on the physical state of the thermometer.
r This problem is circumvented by the suggestion that thermal equilibrium would
a
have a meaning only in case of equal velocities [21, 22, 23].
Behindthesedifferentconclusionsthereare,inouropinion,differentviewsabout
the energytransferandmechanicalwork,andthe identificationofthe heat[12]. In
asimplifying mannerthe assumptionsandviewsaboutthe Lorentztransformation
properties of internal energy, work, heat, and entropy influence such properties
and the very definition of the absolute temperature. Coming to the era of fast
computers, a renewed interest emerged in such questions by modelling stochastic
phenomena at relativistic energy exchanges and relative speeds [24, 25, 26]. In
particular, dissipative hydrodynamics applied to high energy heavy ion collisions
requires the proper identification of temperature and entropy [27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
1
2 TAMA´SS.B´IRO´1 ANDPE´TERVA´N1,2
32, 33, 34, 35]. In this letter we show that our approach to replace the Israel-
Stewart theory of dissipative hydrodynamics, proposed earlier [36, 37, 38, 39], is
relatedtotheproblemofthermalizationofrelativelymovingbodieswithrelativistic
velocitiesandoursuggestioniscompatiblewiththefoundationsofthermodynamics
and guarantees causal heat propagation.

By doing so we encounter the following questions in our analysis:
(1) What moves (or flows)? Total energy and momentum do flow correlated,
but further conserved charges (baryon number, electric charge, etc.) may
flow differently. In relativistic systems one has to deal with the possibility
that the velocity field is not fixed to either current, not being restricted to
the Landau-Lifshitz [40] or Eckart [41] frames.
(2) Whatisabody? Weexploit,howdointegralsoverextendedvolumesrelate
to the local theory of hydrodynamics, and what is a good local definition
for volume changeinrelativisticfluids. Incloserelationto this, we suggest
a four-vector generalization to the concept of heat.
(3) What is a proper equation of state? Here the functional dependency be-
tween entropy and the relativistic internal energy is fixed to a particular
form.
(4) What is the proper transformation of the temperature? As we have men-
tioned above prominent physicists expressed divergent opinions on this in
the past. This problemis intimately relatedto that ofthermalequilibrium
and to the proper description of internal energy.
2. Hydro- and thermodynamics
Inthisletterweconcentrateontheenergy-momentumdensityofaone-component
fluid, but the results can be generalized considering conserved currents in multi-
component systems easily. The energy-momentum tensor can be split into compo-
a
nents aligned to the fiducial four-velocity field, u (x), and orthogonalones:
ab a b a b a b ab
(1) T = eu u +u q +q u +P
with uaqa =0 and uaPab =Pabub =0. When considering complex systems, like a
quark-gluonplasma,thevelocityfieldcanbealignedonlywithoneoftheconserved
currents, unless several currents are parallel (i.e. different conserved charges are
fixed to the same carriers). In our present treatment the velocity field is general.
Relativisticthermodynamicsisobtainedbyintegratingthelocalenergy-momentum
conservation on a suitably defined extended and homogeneous thermodynamic
body. Therefore in the balance of energy-momentum we separate the terms per-
pendicular and parallel to the velocity field as

to the velocity field and we also split the pressure tensor into a hydrostatic part

refer to this hypersurface - a three dimensional spacelike set related to our fluid -
as a thermodynamic body. Considering homogeneous bodies we set ae = 0 and

is the physical energy and momentum leak (dissipation rate) from the body under
study, we denote it by δQa. This is a four-vector generalization of the concept of
heat. Itdescribesbothenergyandmomentumtransferstoorfromthehomogeneous

With these notations we arrive at the following form of the Gibbs relation:
a
(9) TdS =dE+gadG +pdV.
Due to the definitions eq. (7,8) gau¯a =1. Hence the Gibbs relationcan be written
in the alternative form
a
(10) TdS =gadE +pdV,
suggesting that the traditional change of the energy, dE, has to be generalized to
the change of the total energy-momentum four-vector, dEa =d(Eu¯a+Ga).
For the well-known Ju¨ttner distribution [44] ga = u¯a. This equality has been
postulated among others in the classical theory of Israel and Stewart [45]. Then
(10) reduces to
(11) TdS =dE˜+pdV,
where E˜ = u¯aEa. In this case the internal energy can be interpreted as E˜, but
its total differential contributes to the Gibbs relation. In the general case ga =u¯a

- considered below - there remains a term, related to momentum transfer. It is
reasonable to assume that the new intensive variable is timelike: gaga 0. Then

Heresomeimportantphysicalquestionsarise: isitonlyasingleorseveraldiffer-

moving bodies come into thermal contact what can be exchanged among them in
the evolution towards the equilibrium?
3. Two bodies in equilibrium
Let us now consider two different bodies with different average velocities and
energy currents. When all components of Ea and the total volume are kept con-
stant independently, i.e. dEa +dEa = 0 and dV +dV = 0 while dS(Ea,V )+

This, in general, does not mean the equality of temperatures.
In order to simplify the discussion we restrict ourselves to one-dimensional mo-
tions and consider u¯a =(γ,γv) with γ = 1/√1 v2 Lorentz-factors. The energy

current velocity is given by w =(γvw,γw) and q =(γ(1+vw),γ(v+w)). Here

On figures (2)-(5) we fix the reference frame to the thermometer, therefore
ua = (1,0) (the vertical axis is time). The energy current velocity four-vectors
1
are perpendicular to the corresponding four-velocities, therefore they are on lines
symmetrical to the light cones. The four-velocity vectors end on the timelike hy-
perbolasand the spacelikeenergy currentvelocities end inside the spacelikehyper-
bolas. The temperature ratios are determined by the magnitudes of the ga-s as
T /T = ga / ga (see [48].

4. Lorentz scalar temperature
According to the classical ansatz ga = u¯a, the total entropy has to depend on
the total energy E = u¯aEa. Then the equilibrium conditions (17) and (18) result
in zero relative velocity v =0 and the temperatures are equal T =T .
1 2
However, thermodynamic and generic stability considerations are favoring an
other Lorentz-scalar combination E = √EaEa [36, 37, 38, 39]. Denoting the
k k
partialderivative of entropy S( E ,V) with respect to its first argumentby 1/θ =
∂S k k
, one re-writes the total differential,

and comparing to the general Gibbs relation (10) one obtains the correspondence

It follows that the length of the intensive four-vector, g , is the ratio of the tradi-
tional(energyassociated)andscalar(energy-momentumfour-vectorlength associ-
ated)temperatures: √gaga =T/θ. Ontheotherhanditsprojectiontotheaverage

This equationrelates the energy-momentum-associatedscalartemperature, θ to
the energy-associatedone, T. As a consequence we obtain

Ebu¯b Ecu¯c

The later formula clearly interpret w as the quotient of the comoving, average
velocity related energy current (momentum) and energy of the thermodynamic
body, that is the energy current velocity.
Finally we remark,thatin the simple two dimensionalparticularcase we obtain
that θ = T/√1 w2. Therefore the equilibrium condition (16) gives equal scalar
−
temperatures: θ = θ . This is a stronger reflection of Landsberg’s view, and his
1 2
physical arguments in [14, 15] than the assumption of zero total energy current
velocity.

5. Summary
We investigated the possible derivation of basic thermodynamical laws for ho-
mogeneous bodies from relativistic hydrodynamics. The dependence of entropy
on internal energy is replaced by a dependence on the energy-momentum four-
a
vector, E . As a novelty a relativistic heat four-vector has been formulated. For
the traditional, energy exchange related temperature, T, a universal transforma-
tion formula is obtained. For a general observer four velocities are involved in the
equilibrium condition of two thermodynamic bodies in equilibrium. One of them
can be eliminated by choosing the observing frame, the physical relation depends
onlyonthe relativevelocity. Anotherconditionconnectsthe internalheatcurrents
in the bodies in thermal contact. So there remains two velocity like parameters
to describe thermal equilibrium: the energy current speed (the velocity related to
the integratedinternalheat currentdensity) in one of the bodies and their relative

velocity. The traditional temperature transformation formulas belong to corre-
sponding particular choices on the energy current speeds. This can be the reason
that no agreement could be achieved historically. For most common cases there is
no heat current in the observed body but it flows in the thermometer. This leads
to the Planck-Einstein transformation formula.
The closer relationto dissipative hydrodynamicsfavorsa particular dependence
of entropy on energy-momentum and leads to a Lorentz scalar temperature.
