The anomalous dimension of the lattice London superconductor is determined from finite size scaling of the susceptibility to be \eta_\phi = -0.79(1). Indirect determinations of \eta_\phi from properties of the vortex loops in the 3D XY…

The frequency and shear dependent critical viscosity at a correlation length $\xi=\kappa^{-1}$, has the form $\eta=\eta_{0}\kappa^{-x_{\eta}}G(z_{1},z_{2})$, where $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ are the independent dimensionless numbers in the problem…

We consider a fluctuating superconductor in the vicinity of the transition temperature, $T_c$. The fluctuation shear viscosity is calculated. In two dimensions, the leading correction to viscosity is negative and scales as $\delta \eta(T)…

There are two independent critical exponents that describe the behavior of systems near their critical point. However, at the critical point only the exponent $\eta$, which describes the decay of the correlation function, is usually…

Starting from relativistic quantum field theories, Kovtun et al. (2005) have quite recently proposed a lower bound eta/s >= hbar /(4 pi kB), where eta is the shear viscosity and s the volume density of entropy for dense liquids. If their…

We point out some similitudes between the statistics of high Reynolds number turbulence and critical phenomena. An analogy is developed for two-dimensional decaying flows, in particular by studying the scaling properties of the two-point…

We study the behavior of the bulk viscosity $\zeta$ in QCD near a possible critical endpoint in the phase diagram. We verify the expectation that $(\zeta/s)\sim a(\xi/\xi_0)^{x_\zeta}$, where $s$ is the entropy density, $\xi$ is the…

This paper is a study of some of the critical properties of a simple model for flux. The model is motivated by gauge theory and is equivalent to the Ising model in three dimensions. The phase with condensed flux is studied. This is the…

We review the modern view of fluid dynamics as an effective low energy, long wavelength theory of many body systems at finite temperature. We introduce the concept of a nearly perfect fluid, defined by a ratio $\eta/s$ of shear viscosity to…

Using strong-coupling quantum field theory we calculate highly accurate critical exponents nu, eta from new seven-loop expansions in three dimensions. Our theoretical value for the critical exponent alpha of the specific heat near the…

We analyze the harmonic elastic string driven through a continuous random potential above the depinning threshold. The velocity exponent beta = 0.33(2) is calculated. We observe a crossover in the roughness exponent zeta from the critical…

Effective conductivity of a 2D composite corresponding to the regular hexagonal arrangement of superconducting disks is expressed in the form of a long series in the volume fraction of ideally conducting disks. According to our calculations…

We compute the shear viscosity, $\eta$, at general temperatures $T$, in a BCS-BEC crossover scheme which is demonstrably consistent with conservation laws. The study of $\eta$ is important because it constrains microscopic theories by…

We consider QCD near but above critical temperature Tc. The pressure, susceptibilities and the renormalized Polyakov loop -- which is an order parameter for the deconfining phase transition -- dramatically change up to temperatures a few…

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…

We calculate analytically the dynamic critical exponent $z_{MC}$ measured in Monte Carlo simulations for a vortex loop model of the superconducting transition, and account for the simulation results. In the weak screening limit, where…

Using grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the percolation behavior of a square well fluid with an ultra-short range of attraction in three dimension (3D) and in confined geometry. The latter is defined through two…

Using variational perturbation theory, we calculate the shift in the critical temperature T_c up to five loops to lowest order in the scattering length a and find Delta T_c/T_c^{(0)} approx (1.14\pm0.11)an^{1/3}, where n is the particle…

Fluid three-phase equilibria, with phases $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$, are studied close to a tricritical point, analytically and numerically, in a mean-field density-functional theory with two densities. Employing Griffiths' scaling for the…

Critical exponent $\gamma \succeq 1.1$ characterizes behavior of the mechanical susceptibility of a real fluid when temperature approaches the critical one. It results in zero Gaussian curvature of the local shape of the critical point on…
