چکیده
We review recent results from studies of the dynamics of classical YangMills fields on a lattice. We discuss the numerical techniques employed in solving the classical lattice Yang-Mills equations in real time, and present results exhibiting the universal chaotic behavior of nonabelian gauge theories. The complete spectrum of Lyapunov exponents is determined for the gauge group SU(2). We survey results obtained for the SU(3) gauge theory and other nonlinear field theories. We also discuss the relevance of these results to the problem of thermalization in gauge theories. Typeset using REVTEX

We investigate thermalization processes occurring at different time scales in the Yang-Mills-Higgs system at high temperatures. We determine the largest Lyapunov exponent associated with the gauge fields and verify its relation to the perturbatively calculated damping rate of a static gauge boson.

We propose a formulation of the long-distance dynamics of gauge theories at finite temperature on a lattice in Minkowski space, including the effects of hard thermal loops on the dynamics of the long wavelength modes. Our approach is based on the dual classical limits of quantum fields as waves and particles in the infrared and ultraviolet limits, respectively. It exhibits manifest invariance u...

It is shown that the physical phase space of γ-deformed Hamiltonian lattice Yang-Mills theory, which was recently proposed in refs.[1,2], coincides as a Poisson manifold with the moduli space of flat connections on a Riemann surface with (L−V +1) handles and therefore with the physical phase space of the corresponding (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons model, where L and V are correspondingly a tot...
متن کاملThe influence of quantum field fluctuations on chaotic dynamics of Yang-Mills system II. The role of the centrifugal term
We have considered SU(2) ⊗ U(1) gauge field theory describing electroweak interactions. We have demonstrated that centrifugal term in model Hamiltonian increases the region of regular dynamics of Yang-Mills and Higgs fields system at low densities of energy. Also we have found analytically the approximate relation for critical density of energy of the order to chaos transition on centrifugal co...
متن کاملStability of Yang-Mills-Higgs field system in the homogeneous self-dual vacuum field
Classical dynamics of SU(2) model gauge field system with Higgs field is considered in the homogeneous nonperturbative self-dual vacuum field. The regions of instability in parametric space are detected and described analytically. Introduction Much attention has been paid in the last decade to chaos in quantum field theory. At first, non-abelian Yang-Mills gauge fields were investigated without...
