Low-Shear QCD Plasma from Perturbation Theory

We argue that the inferred ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density of the quark-gluon plasma, h/s < 0.5 near the deconfinement temperature Tc, can be understood from perturbative QCD. To rebut opposite views, we first show that the existing leading order result should not be expanded in...
