Transport coefficients from the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model for SU(3)fSU(3)_f

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We calculate the shear η(T)η(T) and bulk viscosities ζ(T)ζ(T) as well as the electric conductivity σe(T)σ_e(T) and heat conductivity κ(T)κ(T) within the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model for 3 flavors as a function of temperature as well as the entropy density s(T)s(T), pressure P(T)P(T) and speed of sound squared cs2(T)c_s^2(T). We compare the results with other models such as the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model and the dynamical quasiparticle model (DQPM) and confront these results with lattice QCD data whenever available. We find the NJL model to have a limited predictive power for the thermodynamic variables and various transport coefficients above the critical temperature whereas the PNJL model and DQPM show acceptable results for the quantities of interest.
