Abstract

The thermal and electrical conductivities are the last transport coefficients which we will calculate in the pure pion gas. These coefficients have not received much attention in the pion gas because they only appear in a system with a conserved number of particles. For example, some phenomenology of the thermal conductivity associated to the conservation of baryon number is studied in [KTR12].

Notes

  1. 1.

    However this coefficient is not needed for the heat conductivity in Eq. (5.24) because of the orthogonality between \(P_0\) and \(P_1\).
