Measurement of shear viscosity in lattice gauge theory without Kubo formula

چکیده
A method to measure the transport coefficients on the lattice is proposed. We introduce a spatiallyinhomogeneous momentum source to the Hamiltonian in order to generate a non-equilibrium but steady hydrodynamic flow. Once such hydrodynamic flow is created with appropriate spatial geometries, the transport coefficients are determined from expectation values of the energymomentum tensor. A Monte Carlo simulation for SU(3) gauge theory is performed to measure the shear viscosity with this method. The effect of the momentum source is taken into account with the Taylor expansion up to the third order. Our numerical result shows, however, that the hydrodynamic flow is not generated up to this order in this formalism.

Within the framework of finite temperature field theory this paper discusses the shear viscosity of hot QED plasma through Kubo formula at one-loop skeleton diagram level with a finite chemical potential. The effective widths(damping rates) are introduced to regulate the pinch singularities. The finite chemical potential, which enhances the contributions to the shear viscosity from the electron...
متن کاملShear Viscosity from Effective Couplings of Gravitons
We calculate the shear viscosity of field theories with gravity duals using Kubo-formula by calculating the Green function of dual transverse gravitons and confirm that the value of the shear viscosity is fully determined by the effective coupling of transverse gravitons on the horizon. We calculate the effective coupling of transverse gravitons for Einstein and GaussBonnet gravities coupled wi...

I discuss three subjects in thermal field theory: why in SU(N) gauge theories the Z(N) symmetry is broken at high (instead of low) temperature, the possible singularity structure of gauge variant propagators, and the problem of how to compute the viscosity from the Kubo formula. Based on an invited talk presented at the Workshop on Hot QCD held at the Winnipeg Institute for Theoretical Physics,...
متن کاملShear viscosity coefficient and relaxation time of causal dissipative hydrodynamics in QCD.
The shear viscosity coefficient and the corresponding relaxation time for causal dissipative hydrodynamics are calculated based on the microscopic formula proposed in T. Koide and T. Kodama [Phys. Rev. E 78, 051107 (2008)10.1103/PhysRevE.78.051107]. Here, the exact formula is transformed into a more compact form and applied to evaluate these transport coefficients in the chiral perturbation the...
