The microscopic formulas for the shear viscosity $eta$, the bulk viscosity $zeta$, and the corresponding relaxation times $tau_pi$ and $tau_Pi$ of causal dissipative relativistic fluid-dynamics are obtained at finite temperature and chemical potential by using the projection operator method. The non-triviality of the finite chemical potential calculation is attributed to the arbitrariness of the operator definition for the bulk viscous pressure.We show that, when the operator definition for the bulk viscous pressure $Pi$ is appropriately chosen, the leading-order result of the ratio, $zeta$ over $tau_Pi$, coincides with the same ratio obtained at vanishing chemical potential. We further discuss the physical meaning of the time-convolutionless (TCL) approximation to the memory function, which is adopted to derive the main formulas. We show that the TCL approximation violates the time reversal symmetry appropriately and leads results consistent with the quantum master equation obtained by van Hove. Furthermore, this approximation can reproduce an exact relation for transport coefficients obtained by using the f-sum rule derived by Kadanoff and Martin. Our approach can reproduce also the result in Baier et al.(2008) Ref. cite{con} by taking into account the next-order correction to the TCL approximation, although this correction causes several problems.

The microscopic formulae of the bulk viscosity $zeta $ and the corresponding relaxation time $tau_{Pi}$ in causal dissipative relativistic fluid dynamics are derived by using the projection operator method. In applying these formulae to the pionic fl uid, we find that the renormalizable energy-momentum tensor should be employed to obtain consistent results. In the leading order approximation in the chiral perturbation theory, the relaxation time is enhanced near the QCD phase transition and $tau_{Pi}$ and $zeta $ are related as $tau_{Pi}=zeta /[beta {(1/3-c_{s}^{2})(epsilon +P)-2(epsilon -3P)/9}]$, where $epsilon $, $P$ and $c_{s}$ are the energy density, pressure and velocity of sound, respectively. The predicted $zeta $ and $% tau_{Pi}$ should satisfy the so-called causality condition. We compare our result with the results of the kinetic calculation by Israel and Stewart and the string theory, and confirm that all the three approaches are consistent with the causality condition.
Within the framework of relativistic fluctuating hydrodynamics we compute the contribution of thermal fluctuations to the effective infrared shear viscosity of a conformal fluid, focusing on quadratic (in fluctuations), second order (in velocity grad ients) terms in the conservation equations. Our approach is based on the separation of hydrodynamic fields in soft and ultrasoft sectors, in which the effective shear viscosity arises due to the action of the soft modes on the evolution of the ultrasoft ones. We find that for a strongly coupled fluid with small shear viscosity--to--entropy ratio $eta/s$ the contribution of thermal fluctuations to the effective shear viscosity is small but significant. Using realistic estimates for the strongly coupled quark--gluon plasma created in heavy ion collisions, we find that for $eta/s$ close to the AdS/CFT lower bound $1/(4pi)$ the correction is positive and at most amounts to 10% in the temperature range 200--300 MeV, whereas for larger values $eta/s sim 2/(4pi)$ the correction is negligible. For weakly coupled theories the correction is very small even for $eta/s=0.08$ and can be neglected.
Einstein equations projected on to a black hole horizon gives rise to Navier-Stokes equations. Horizon-fluids typically possess unusual features like negative bulk viscosity and it is not clear whether a statistical mechanical description exists for such fluids. In this work, we provide an explicit derivation of the Bulk viscosity of the horizon-fluid based on the theory of fluctuations a la Kubo. The main advantage of our approach is that our analysis remains for the most part independent of the details of the underlying microscopic theory and hence the conclusions reached here are model independent. We show that the coefficient of bulk viscosity for the horizon-fluid matches exactly with the value found from the equations of motion for the horizon-fluid.
In local scalar quantum field theories (QFTs) at finite temperature correlation functions are known to satisfy certain non-perturbative constraints, which for two-point functions in particular implies the existence of a generalisation of the standard K{a}ll{e}n-Lehmann representation. In this work, we use these constraints in order to derive a spectral representation for the shear viscosity arising from the thermal asymptotic states, $eta_{0}$. As an example, we calculate $eta_{0}$ in $phi^{4}$ theory, establishing its leading behaviour in the small and large coupling regimes.

I derive an exact integral expression for the ratio of shear viscosity over entropy density $frac{eta}{s}$ for the massless (critical) O(N) model at large N with quartic interactions. The calculation is set up and performed entirely from the field th eory side using a non-perturbative resummation scheme that captures all contributions to leading order in large N. In 2+1d, $frac{eta}{s}$ is evaluated numerically at all values of the coupling. For infinite coupling, I find $frac{eta}{s}simeq 0.42(1)times N$. I show that this strong coupling result for the viscosity is universal for a large class of interacting bosonic O(N) models.
