          Abstract

          We have evaluated the transport coefficients of quark and hadronic matter in the frame work of Polyakov-Quark-Meson model. The thermal widths of quarks and mesons, which inversely control the strength of these transport coefficients, are obtained from the imaginary part of their respective self-energies at finite temperature. Due to the threshold conditions of their self energies, some limited temperature regions of quark and hadronic phase become relevant for our numerical predictions on transport coefficients, which are grossly in agreement with earlier results.

          Viscosity in Strongly Interacting Quantum Field Theories from Black Hole Physics

          The ratio of shear viscosity to volume density of entropy can be used to characterize how close a given fluid is to being perfect. Using string theory methods, we show that this ratio is equal to a universal value of \(\hbar/4\pi k_B\) for a large class of strongly interacting quantum field theories whose dual description involves black holes in anti--de Sitter space. We provide evidence that this value may serve as a lower bound for a wide class of systems, thus suggesting that black hole horizons are dual to the most ideal fluids.

            The Phase Structure of the Polyakov--Quark-Meson Model

            The relation between the deconfinement and chiral phase transition is explored in the framework of an Polyakov-loop-extended two-flavor quark-meson (PQM) model. In this model the Polyakov loop dynamics is represented by a background temporal gauge field which also couples to the quarks. As a novelty an explicit quark chemical potential and N_f-dependence in the Polyakov loop potential is proposed by using renormalization group arguments. The behavior of the Polyakov loop as well as the chiral condensate as function of temperature and quark chemical potential is obtained by minimizing the grand canonical thermodynamic potential of the system. The effect of the Polyakov loop dynamics on the chiral phase diagram and on several thermodynamic bulk quantities is presented.

              The Bulk Viscosity of High-Temperature QCD

              , , (2010)
              We compute the bulk viscosity zeta of high-temperature QCD to leading order in powers of the running coupling alpha_s(T). We find that it is negligible compared to shear viscosity eta for any alpha_s that might reasonably be considered small. The physics of bulk viscosity in QCD is a bit different than in scalar phi^4 theory. In particular, unlike in scalar theory, we find that an old, crude estimate of zeta as 15 ((1/3)-v_s^2)^2 eta gives the correct order of magnitude, where v_s is the speed of sound. We also find that leading-log expansions of our result for zeta are not accurate except at very small coupling.
