abstract

We calculate shear viscosity and bulk viscosity in SU(3) gauge theory on the lattice at $1.5 \,T_c$. The viscosities are extracted via a Kubo formula from the reconstructed spectral function which we determine from the Euclidean-time dependence of the corresponding channel of the energy-momentum tensor correlators. We obtain unprecedented precision for the correlators by applying gradient flow and blocking methods. The correlators are extrapolated to the continuum and then to zero flow time. To extract the viscosities we fit theoretically inspired models to the lattice data and crosscheck the fit results using the Backus Gilbert method. The final estimates for shear and bulk viscosity are $\eta/s = 0.15-0.48$ and $\zeta/s = 0.017-0.059$.

  1. Neural network extraction of chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic gluon masses

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A dual neural network quasiparticle model separates electric and magnetic gluon thermal masses from lattice QCD thermodynamics, but the high-temperature mass ratio is imposed by a regularization term.

  2. The spectral reconstruction problem for thermal photon and dilepton rates

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A proceedings review presents an improved estimator (lambda = 2) and new lattice QCD estimates for the thermal photon production rate from quark-gluon plasma.

  3. What is the Quark-Gluon Plasma made of?

    nucl-th 2025-06 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

    The quark-gluon plasma is best described as a strongly coupled liquid of massive, very short-lived quark and gluon quasiparticles, with sound (phonon) modes becoming the most well-defined collective excitation at low momenta.
