Transport and hydrodynamics in the chiral limit
Eduardo Grossi, Alexander Soloviev, Derek Teaney, Fanglida Yan
Abstract
For a thermal system with light pions, over large distances both hydrodynamic and chiral modes must be included. The authors accomplish this, and compute the leading corrections in the pion mass squared to transport coefficients. This illuminates the properties of the QCD medium at temperatures close to but below ${T}_{c}$.
