Heat Transport in Almost Integrable Spin-Chains — •Peter Jung, Rolf Helmes, and Achim Rosch — Institute of Theoretical Physik, Cologne University, Zülpicher Str. 77, 50937 Köln, Germany

Integrable quantum spin chains are characterized by an infinite heat conductivity. We study the effect of small perturbations which destroy integrability. We evaluate a perturbation theory for 1/κ(T,ω) using both exact diagonalization and a high temperature expansion which reconstructs the relevant correlation functions from its moments.
