Abstract
Dynamic quantities are computed near the transition from the columnar to the crystalline phase. The enhancement from order parameter fluctuations of the viscosities ν 1 and ν3 is found to be proportional to the first power of the correlation length. We briefly describe how the ω-1/2 divergence of viscosities predicted in the columnar phase by Ramaswamy and Toner is suppressed near the transition to the crystalline phase
