Thermal Correlators in the ρ channel of two-flavor QCD

Abstract

We present a lattice QCD calculation with two dynamical flavors of the isovector vector correlator in the high-temperature phase. We analyze the correlator in terms of the associated spectral function, for which we review the theoretical expectations. In our main analysis, we perform a fit for the difference of the thermal and vacuum spectral functions, and we use an exact sum rule that constrains this difference. We also perform a direct fit for the thermal spectral function, and obtain good agreement between the two analyses for frequencies below the two-pion threshold. Under the assumption that the spectral function is smooth in that region, we give an estimate of the electrical conductivity.
