TL;DR
By requiring general-coordinate and conformal invariance of the hydrodynamic equations, it is shown that the unitary Fermi gas has zero bulk viscosity, zeta=0, in the normal phase.
Abstract
By requiring general-coordinate and conformal invariance of the hydrodynamic equations, we show that the unitary Fermi gas has zero bulk viscosity, zeta=0, in the normal phase. In the superfluid phase, two of the bulks viscosities have to vanish, zeta_1=zeta_2=0, while the third one zeta_3 is allowed to be nonzero.
