Hard thermal loops, static response, and the composite effective action.
First, we investigate the static non-Abelian Kubo equation. We prove that it does not possess finite energy solutions; thereby we establish that gauge theories do not support hard thermal solitons. This general result is verified by a numerical solution of the equations. A similar argument shows that " static " instantons are absent. In addition, we note that the static equations reproduce the ...
متن کاملHard Thermal Loops and Chiral Lagrangians
Chiral symmetry is used as the guiding principle to derive hard thermal loop effects in chiral perturbation theory. This is done by using a chiral invariant background field method for the non-linear sigma model and the WessZumino-Witten lagrangian, with and without external vector and axial vector sources. It is then shown that the n-point hard thermal loop is the leading thermal correction fo...
متن کاملHard Thermal Loops from Transport Processes
Because the running coupling g(T ) of QCD decreases as a function of temperature T , the SU(3) color gauge theory becomes weakly coupled in the high temperature limit. Numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory with dynamical quarks have shown that the equation of state ǫ(T ) makes a transition from the low-temperature phase, where the effective degrees of freedom are hadrons, to a high ...
متن کاملAbelian hard thermal loops on a lattice
Understanding the behaviour of quantum fields out of equilibrium is important both for cosmology and for heavy ion theory. A particularly interesting example of an event in the early universe in which out-of-equilibrium dynamics played a crucial role is the electroweak phase transition, since it may explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe [1]. Although static equilibrium propertie...
متن کاملHard Thermal Loops near the Light-cone *
In hot gauge theories, perturbation theory at the scale of the Debye screening mass requires the resummation of the so-called hard thermal loops, which corresponds to using an effective action obtained by integrating out the modes with momentum of order of the temperature. As is well-known, quantities which are sensitive to the nonperturbative magnetic screening mass still remain incalculable i...
