Transport properties (A07)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 315477589

Transport properties will extend the study of transport coefficients via lattice gauge-theory methods to the unquenched case. This will require noise-reduction techniques using gradient flow, as well as new methods to establish correct composite operators containing both bosonic and fermionic fields, such as the correct renormalization of all components of the stress tensor when using gradient flow. We will also explore novel lattice approaches for dynamical processes controlled by saddle-point configurations, such as the real-time topological diffusion coefficient (sphaleron rate). We will also work to improve the prescriptions for performing spectral reconstruction from lattice data.
