Transport coefficients can be obtained from 2-point correlators using the Kubo formulae. It has been shown that the full leading order result for electrical conductivity and (QCD) shear viscosity is contained in the re-summed 2-point function that is obtained from the 3-loop 3PI re-summed effective action. The theory produces all leading order contributions without the necessity for power counting, and in this sense it provides a natural framework for the calculation. In this article we study the 4-loop 4PI effective action for a scalar theory with cubic and quartic interactions in the presence of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We obtain a set of integral equations that determine the re-summed 2-point vertex function. A next-to-leading order contribution to the viscosity could be obtained from this set of coupled equations.
