Hard Thermal Loops in a Moving Plasma and a Magnetic Mass Term
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the hard thermal loops of Quantum Chromodynamics for a moving quark-gluon plasma. Generalizing from this we suggest a candidate for the magnetic mass term. This mass term may also be useful in understanding the mass gap of three-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories.

Summation over hard thermal loops, by themselves and as insertions in higher order Feynman diagrams, is important in thermal perturbation theory for Quantum Chromodynamics, so that all contributions of a given order in the coupling constant can be consistently taken into account. I review some of the basic properties of hard thermal loops and how the generating functional for them is related to...
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...

We propose a model of hard X-ray flares in protostars observed by ASCA satellite. Assuming that the dipole magnetic field of the protostar threads the protostellar disk, we carried out 2.5-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the disk-star interaction. The closed magnetic loops connecting the central star and the disk are twisted by the rotation of the disk. As the twist accumul...

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

The generating functional for hard thermal loops in Quantum Chromodynamics is important in setting up a resummed perturbation theory. I review how this functional is related to the eikonal for a Chern-Simons gauge theory, and using an auxiliary field, to the gauged Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten action. The induced current due to hard thermal loops, properly incorporating damping effects, is also b...
