Anisotropic Lattice and Its Application to Quark Gluon Plasma

Abstract

We have studied the link-integration method for the improved actions. With this method the $\eta$ parameter in the medium to strong coupling regions is obtained. Effects of the self-energy terms for the $\eta$ parameters are small in the regions of $\beta$ and $\eta$ studied. After these investigations, the anisotropic lattice is used for the calculation of transport coefficients of the quark gluon plasma.
