The problem of fermion sector: 1. Fermion number doubling2. Essential symmetries (chiral symmetry) of the continuum action are violated

Solution: 1. Wilson fermion, add a higher derivative term2. Staggered fermion, distribute components of the fermion Dirac spinors over several lattice sites, [Kogut and Susskind, PRD1975].

-The velocity gradient are directly related to viscous behavior of the fluid

-Viscosities reflect resistance to flow

It (QCD) provides the answer to a child-like question: What happens to matter, as you squeeze it harder and

harder?

-- Wilczek

Answer: Perturbation in QCD in weak coupling

An opposite question: What happens to matter, as you increase interactions stronger and stronger?

What happens to quark-quark pairings: do they survive stronger and stronger interactions?

Answer: unclear
