31. A Galilean shift such as that used to arrive at Eq. (8) is strictly only valid for a uniform velocity field u (r, t) = u (t). In this case, Eq. (8) gives the Hamiltonian in the rest frame of the "walls" bounding the system in accordance with the principle of Galilean relativity [22]. However, the fact that the velocity field is (necessarily) nonuniform means that translational symmetry is broken and there is no suitable reference frame in which the system can be in equilibrium. Nonetheless, in the long-wavelength limit required to define the viscosity coefficients, Eq. (8) reduces to the Hamiltonian in the rest frame of the walls, meaning that it is suitable for defining equilibrium thermodynamic averages.
32. Consider, e.g., the induced current in the α = x direction, and set q z = 0. The transverse correlator is obtained by first taking the q x → 0, followed by q y → 0 limit. Interchanging the order, one finds the longitudinal result.

39. We argue that (2 α b + β b - 2) > 0. Otherwise, η would have potentially divergent contributions. As discussed above, η is analogous to the resistivity and does not have a δ (ω) piece. This is very different from superconductors which have a δ (ω) term in their frequency-dependent conductivity.

49. Recall that Λ = 1 / r 0 in Eq. (62) comes from an ultraviolet cutoff imposed on the two-body T matrix. In the center-of-mass frame of the two-body scattering problem, this is equivalent to imposing an energy cutoff Λ 2 / 2 m r with reduced mass m r = m / 2; hence the cutoff in Eq. (70).
