Shear viscosity and electric conductivity of QGP in transport theory

Armando Puglisi (Catania University and INFN)

The study of transport coefficients of strongly interacting matter has generated a great interest in the research of heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies. I will talk about shear viscosity and electric conductivity of the Quark-Gluon Plasma in the framework of kinetic theory, solving the relativistic transport Boltzmann equation in a finite box with periodic boundary conditions. I will present the dependence on microscopic details and a quasi-particle model prediction for both transport coefficients.
