Viscosities of Hot Gluon -- A Lattice QCD Study --
Abstract
We present transport coefficients (shear viscosity, , and bulk viscosity, ) for the gluon system obtained by the lattice QCD. This is an indispensable calculation towards the understanding of ``New State of Matter'' observed in RHIC. We study the temperature regions of RHIC () and much higher ones up to . In RHIC regions, the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, , is around , and satisfies the KSS bound. At high temperature, becomes two or three oder of magnitude larger. Our calculation has two limitations: (i) the use of the quench approximation, i.e., without quark pair creation-annihilation effects on vacuum, and (ii) the use of an ansatz for the spectral function. The first point has been well studied in calculations of the spectroscopy and the phase-transition behavior. To investigate the second point, we compare our results with perturbative calculations in high -regions, and also check the effects of the modification of the spectral function on the viscosity.
