The transport coefficients of quark matter at nonzero chemical potential and temperature are computed within the two-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. We apply the Kubo formalism to obtain the thermal (κ) and electrical (σ) conductivities as well as an update of the shear viscosity (η) by evaluating the corresponding equilibrium two-point correlation functions to leading order in the 1/Nc expansion. The Dirac structure of the self-energies and spectral functions is taken into account as these are evaluated from the meson-exchange Fock diagrams for on-mass-shell quarks. We find that the thermal and electrical conductivities are decreasing functions of temperature and density above the Mott temperature TM of dissolution of mesons into quarks, the main contributions being generated by the temporal and vector components of the spectral functions. The coefficients show a universal dependence on the ratio T/TM for different densities, i.e., the results differ by a chemical-potential dependent constant. We also show that the Wiedemann-Franz law for the ratio σ/κ does not hold. The ratio η/s, where s is the entropy density, is of order of unity (or larger) close to the Mott temperature and, as the temperature increases, approaches the AdS/CFT bound 1/4π. It is also conjectured that the ratio κT/cV, with cV being the specific heat, is bounded from below by 1/18.
