Abstract: The steps essentially involved in the evaluation of transport coefficients in linear response theory using Kubo formulas are to relate the defining {em retarded} correlation function to the corresponding {em time-ordered} one and to evaluate the latter in the conventional perturbation expansion. Here we evaluate the viscosities of a pion gas carrying out both the steps in the {em real time} formulation. We also obtain the viscous coefficients by solving the relativistic transport equation in the Chapman-Enskog approximation to leading order. An in-medium $pipi$ cross-section in used in which spectral modifications are introduced in the propagator of the exchanged $ho$.

Summary: The steps essentially involved in the evaluation of transport coefficients in linear response theory using Kubo formulas are to relate the defining \textit{retarded} correlation function to the corresponding \textit{time-ordered} one and to evaluate the latter in the conventional perturbation expansion. Here, we evaluate the viscosities of a pion gas carrying out both the steps in the \textit{real-time} formulation. We also obtain the viscous coefficients by solving the relativistic transport equation in the Chapman-Enskog approximation to leading order. An in-medium \(\pi\pi\) cross-section is used in which spectral modifications are introduced in the propagator of the exchanged \(\rho\).
