Electrical conductivity of the quark-gluon plasma: perspective from lattice QCD

G Aarts, A Nikolaev - The European Physical Journal A, 2021 - Springer
A discussion on the electrical conductivity of the quark-gluon plasma as determined by
lattice QCD is given. After a reminder of basic definitions and expectations, various methods …

QCD shear viscosity at (almost) NLO

J Ghiglieri, GD Moore, D Teaney - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We compute the shear viscosity of QCD with matter, including almost all next-to-
leading order corrections—that is, corrections suppressed by one power of g relative to …

Electrical conductivity of quark-gluon plasma in strong magnetic fields

K Hattori, D Satow - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We compute the electrical conductivity of quark-gluon plasma in a strong magnetic field B
with quantum field theory at finite temperature using the lowest Landau level approximation …

Bulk viscosity of quark-gluon plasma in strong magnetic fields

K Hattori, XG Huang, DH Rischke, D Satow - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We investigate the viscosities of the quark-gluon plasma in strong magnetic fields within the
leading-log and lowest Landau level (LLL) approximations. We first show that the bulk …

Second order hydrodynamic coefficients from kinetic theory

MA York, GD Moore - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2009 - APS
In a relativistic setting, hydrodynamic calculations which include shear viscosity (which is
first order in an expansion in gradients of the flow velocity) are unstable and acausal unless …

Bulk viscosity at extreme limits: from kinetic theory to strings

A Czajka, K Dasgupta, C Gale, S Jeon, A Misra… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we study bulk viscosity in a thermal QCD model with large number of
colors at two extreme limits: the very weak and the very strong't Hooft couplings. The weak …

Quasiparticle theory of transport coefficients for hadronic matter at finite temperature and baryon density

M Albright, JI Kapusta - Physical Review C, 2016 - APS
We develop a flexible quasiparticle theory of transport coefficients of hot hadronic matter at
finite baryon density. We begin with a hadronic quasiparticle model which includes a scalar …

I Danhoni, GD Moore - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract The next-to-leading order weak-coupling shear viscosity of QCD was computed 6
years ago. However, these results have never been applied at finite baryon chemical …
