Perturbative Hot Gauge Theories - Recent Results
Current results in high temperature gauge theories obtained in the context of the perturbative method of resumming hard thermal loops are reviewed. Beyond leading order properties of the gluon excitation, and the recent (controversial) calculations of the damping rates are discussed. QCD predictions on plasma signatures are exemplified by the thermal production rates of energetic as well as sof...
متن کاملNon Perturbative Aspects of Screening Phenomena in Abelian and Non Abelian Gauge Theories
When computed to one-loop order in resummed perturbation theory, the nonabelian Debye mass appears to be logarithmically sensitive to the magnetic scale g2T . More generally, we show that in higher orders power-like infrared divergences forbid the use of perturbation theory to calculate the corrections to Debye screening. A similar infrared problem occurs in the determination of the mass-shell ...
متن کاملNon-abelian gauge theories as a consequence of perturbative quantum gauge invariance
We show for the case of interacting massless vector bosons, how the structure of YangMills theories emerges automatically from a more fundamental concept, namely perturbative quantum gauge invariance. It turns out that the coupling in a non-abelian gauge theory is necessarily of Yang-Mills type plus divergenceand coboundary couplings. The extension of the method to massive gauge theories is bri...
متن کاملOrder Parameters for Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
Owing to subtle issues concerning quantum fluctuations and gauge fixing, a formulation of a general procedure to specify the realization of non-Abelian gauge symmetry has evaded all earlier attempts. In this Letter, we discuss these subtleties and present two sets of order parameters for non-Abelian gauge theories. Such operators directly probe the manifest low energy symmetry group and are cru...
متن کاملRates for Non-perturbative Processes in Hot Non-abelian Plasmas
I will be discussing the rate for non-perturbative processes in hot non-Abelian plasmas. For me “hot” means high enough temperature that the running coupling α(T ) is small, that chemical potentials are ignorable, and that there is no spontaneous symmetry breaking. Examples of non-perturbative processes include chirality violation in hot QCD and baryon number violation in hot electroweak theory...
