Difference: AMY vs XG Difference: AMY vs XG
Both approaches of XG and AMY are based on kinetic theory. However, the main points of differences are:
1) A parton cascade model is used by XG to solve the Boltzmann equation. Since the bosonic nature of gluons is hard to implement in real time simulations in this model, gluons are treated as a Boltzmann gas (i.e. a classical gas). For AMY, the Boltzmann equation is solved in a variation method without taking the Boltzmann gas approximation.
2) The Ng↔ (N+1)g processes, N=2,3,4,..., are approximated by the effective g↔gg splitting in AMY with 2-body-like phase space, while the Gunion-Bertsch formula for gg↔ggg process is used in XG with 3-body-like phase space.

Our goal and strategyOur goal and strategy
Goal:
to calculate the shear viscosity in a different way, to understand the nature of the difference between two results
Strategy:
1) We use variational method as AMY
2) We use the Gunion-Bertsch formula for gg↔ggg process as XG
3) For evaluating collisional integrals we treat phase space for 3 gluons in two ways: (a) 3 body state as XG; (b) 2+1(soft) state, almost 2 body state, close to AMY. We call it the soft gluon approximation;

This is equivalent to exand Jacobian of δ(E1+E2-E3-E4-E5) in large √s limit and keeping the leading order.

Concluding remarksConcluding remarks: results with GB: results with GB
■ We have bridged to some extent the gap between AMY and XG.
■ To our understanding, their main difference is in the phase space for number changing processes, there are much more 3-body configurations in XG approach than in AMY, or equivalently phase space in XG for gluon emission is much larger than in AMY (about dim 5 : dim 2), causing effect of 23 for viscosity in XG is much larger than in AMY.
■ Core question: Is GB formula still valid for general 3-body (3-jet) configuration? or equivalently: Does GB formula over-estimate the rate of the general 3-body (3-jet) configuration? Further study of viscosity using exact matrix element should give an answer to this question.

Conclusion and outlookConclusion and outlook
■ We have calculated η/s to leading order for 22 and 23 process, exact matrix element is used for 23 process with m_D as regulator, HTL is used for 22 process.
■ The errors from not implementing HTL and the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in the 23 process, and from the uncalculated higher order corrections, have been estimated.
■ Our result smoothly connects the two different approximations used by Arnold, Moore and Yaffe (AMY) and Xu and Greiner (XG). However, we find no indication that the proposed perfect fluid limit η/s =1/(4π) can be achieved by perturbative QCD alone.
■ Outlook: (1) Include quark flavor; (2) Bulk viscosity; (3) Beyond the linear Boltzmann equation; (4) Semi-QGP
