Near a critical point, including the one conjectured in the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon chemical potential, the slow dynamics of long-wavelength modes is expected to become universal. I will review the argument for the associated dynamic universality class being that of Model H in the Halperin-Hohenberg classification, i.e., that of a liquid-gas critical point. Based on a novel real-time formulation of the functional renormalization group, I will present results for universal scaling functions of the thermal diffusivity and the shear viscosity, and discuss their relevance in the ongoing search for the QCD critical point.
Keywords: QCD phase diagram; QCD critical point; dynamic critical behavior; functional renormalization group; transport coefficients
