In the cases where particle number is conserved, their late time behaviour is characterized by diffusive dynamics, leading to an infinite temperature steady state. Some of these models are Yang-Baxter integrable, others are not. The simple structure of the BBGKY hierarchy makes it possible to map the dynamics of Heisenberg-picture operators on few-body imaginary-time Schrödinger equations with non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We use this formulation to obtain exact hydrodynamic projections of operators quadratic in fermions, and to determine linear response functions in Lindbladian non-equilibrium dynamics. × TY - JOURPB - SciPost FoundationDO - 10.21468/SciPostPhys.20.2.058TI - Linear response and exact hydrodynamic projections in Lindblad equations with decoupled Bogoliubov hierarchiesPY - 2026/02/25UR - https://scipost.org/SciPostPhys.20.2.058JF - SciPost PhysicsJA - SciPost Phys.VL - 20IS - 2SP - 058A1 - Penc, PatrikAU - Essler, Fabian H.
