Transport properties of strongly interacting quantum field theories

它旨在计算具有强相互作用的量子场理论的输运性质，如粘度或导热性。结果作为流体动力学模拟的输入，用于描述当前的重离子实验（例如在RHIC或在LHC）。泛函重整化群方法也将用于研究输运系数的普适性。最近用弦理论方法得到的一个猜想，预言量子涨落会导致剪切粘度和熵密度之比的下界，这一猜想将得到检验。

It is intended to calculate transport properties as viscosity or heat conductivity for quantum field theories with strong interactions. The results serve as input for hydrodynamical simulations which are used to describe current heavy ion experiments (for example at RHIC or at the LHC). The functional renormalization group method will also be used to investigate the universality of transport coefficients. A conjecture recently obtained with string theory methods which predicts that quantum fluctuations lead to a lower bound for the ratio of shear viscosity and entropy density, shall be tested.
