Transport coefficients in non-quasiparticle systems

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

Transport coefficeints, in particular the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio is studied in systems where the small-width quasiparticle assumption is not valid. It is found that η/s\eta/s has no unversal lower bound, the minimal value depends on the system and the temperature, and can be even zero. We construct models where the 1/4π1/4\pi conjectured bound is violated.
