In a gauge theory at nonzero temperature the eigenvalues of the Wilson line form a set of gauge invariant observables. By constructing the corresponding partition function for the phases of these eigenvalues, we prove that the trivial vacuum, where the phases vanish, is a minimum of the free energy.

    In a matrix model of the semi-QGP with teen ghost fields, zeta/s is largest at T_d, comparable to eta/s, while eta/s stays well above the AdS/CFT bound.
