Restoring time-reversal covariance in relaxed hydrodynamics

In hydrodynamics, for generic relaxations, the stress tensor and U(1) charge current two-point functions are not time-reversal covariant. This remains true even if the Martin-Kadanoff procedure happens to yield Onsager reciprocal correlators. We consider linearized relativistic hydrodynamics on Minkowski space in the presence of energy, U(1) charge, and momentum relaxation. We then show how one can find the minimal relaxed hydrodynamic framework that does yield two-point functions consistent with time-reversal covariance. We claim the same approach naturally applies to boost agnostic hydrodynamics and its limits (e.g., Carrollian, Galilean, and Lifshitz fluids).
