Bulk viscosity of N = 2 ∗ plasma
We use gauge theory/string theory correspondence to study the bulk viscosity of strongly coupled, mass deformed SU(Nc) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma, also known as N = 2 gauge theory. For a wide range of masses we confirm the bulk viscosity bound proposed in [1]. For a certain choice of masses, the theory undergoes a phase transition with divergent specific heat cV ∼ |1 − Tc/T |−1/2. W...
متن کاملRadiative Bulk Viscosity
Viscous resistance to changes in the volume of a gas arises when different degrees of freedom have different relaxation times. Collisions tend to oppose the resulting departures from equilibrium and, in so doing, generate entropy. Even for a classical gas of hard spheres, when the mean free paths or mean flight times of constituent particles are long, we find a nonvanishing bulk viscosity. Here...
متن کامل‘Understanding’ cosmological bulk viscosity
A universe consisting of two interacting perfect fluids with the same 4-velocity is considered. A heuristic mean free time argument is used to show that the system as a whole cannot be perfect as well but neccessarily implies a nonvanishing bulk viscosity. A new formula for the latter is derived and compared with corresponding results of radiative hydrodynamics.
متن کاملBulk viscosity of superfluid hyperon stars
We calculate the bulk viscosity due to nonequilibrium weak processes in superfluid nucleon-hyperon matter of neutron stars. For that, the dissipative relativistic hydrodynamics, formulated eariler [M. E. Gusakov, Phys. Rev. D 76, 083001 (2007).] for superfluid mixtures, is extended to the case when both nucleons and hyperons are superfluid. It is demonstrated that in the most general case (when...
متن کاملEffects of Bulk Viscosity on Cosmological Evolution
The effect of bulk viscisity on the evolution of the homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models is considered. Solutions are found, with a barotropic equation of state, and a viscosity coefficient that is proportional to a power of the energy density of the universe. For flat space, power law expansions, related to extended inflation are found as well as exponential solutions, related to old...
