我们研究空间平坦FLRW宇宙中在粘性相对论介质中传播的张量扰动，特别关注超出局域因果弛豫模型的空间自由流动产生的修正。我们从Baym、Patil和Pethick用于描述物质对引力波响应的弛豫时间玻尔兹曼方程出发，在零流动极限下，张量应力满足Maxwell-Cattaneo关系或线性Muller-Israel-Stewart（MIS）关系。随后我们保留空间流动项，并对超相对论各向同性介质解析计算得到的角响应，将所得动力学响应与张量爱因斯坦方程耦合，在平坦的物质加Lambda背景下数值求解，同时与局域MIS传播模型及独立的动力学WKB计算进行对比。对于所考虑的示例归一化，完整的数值计算得到了张量功率传递函数的非单调修正，在x≈0.37处的最大值约为0.8%，在x≈1.97处的最小值约为-5.6%。这些特征在角分辨率和常微分方程（ODE）容差测试下保持稳定，并由动力学WKB计算重现。我们还发现了相应的有限动量相位修正。该效应是所指定的单弛豫时间动力学模型的特性，不应被解释为通用输运定律。
英文摘要
We study tensor perturbations propagating through a viscous relativistic medium in a spatially flat FLRW universe, with particular emphasis on the correction produced by spatial free streaming beyond a local causal relaxation model. We start from the relaxation-time Boltzmann equation used by Baym, Patil, and Pethick to describe the response of matter to a gravitational wave. In the zero-streaming limit, the tensor stress obeys a Maxwell-Cattaneo, or linear Muller-Israel-Stewart, relation. We then retain the spatial streaming term and evaluate the resulting angular response analytically for an ultrarelativistic isotropic medium. The resulting kinetic response is coupled to the tensor Einstein equation and solved numerically in a flat matter-plus-Lambda background, with comparison to the local MIS propagation model and an independent kinetic WKB calculation. For the illustrative normalization considered, the full numerical calculation produces a nonmonotonic correction to the tensor power transfer function, with a maximum of about 0.8 percent near x equal to 0.37 and a minimum of about minus 5.6 percent near x equal to 1.97. These features are stable under angular-resolution and ODE-tolerance tests and are reproduced by the kinetic WKB calculation. We also find a corresponding finite-momentum phase correction. The effect is a property of the specified single-relaxation-time kinetic model and should not be interpreted as a universal transport law.
