Topological Gluon Mass and Shear Viscosity of the Quark--Gluon Plasma
Debmalya Mukhopadhyay
The quark--gluon plasma produced in relativistic heavy--ion collisions behaves as a nearly perfect fluid characterized by an exceptionally small shear viscosity to entropy density…

HTL effective action of topologically massive gluons in 3+1 dimensions
Debmalya Mukhopadhyay, R. Kumar, Jan-e Alam +1
We construct an effective action for "soft" gluons by integrating out hard thermal modes of topologically massive vector bosons at one loop order. The loop carrying hard gluons (mo…
