Discontinuities in Relativistic Hydrodynamics Across Space-like and Time-like Hypersurfaces

Abstract

Discontinuities in relativistic hydrodynamics - shock waves and freeze-out shocks - are considered across both space-like and time-like hypersurfaces. We analyze the peculiar features of the freeze-out discontinuities and their connection to the shock-wave phenomena.
