Hard thermal loops with a background plasma velocity
arXiv:hep-ph/0207146 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2003-00113-x
Abstract
I consider the calculation of the two and three-point functions for QED at finite temperature in the presence of a background plasma velocity. The final expressions are consistent with Lorentz invariance, gauge invariance and current conservation, pointing to a straightforward generalization of the hard thermal loop formalism to this physical situation. I also give the resulting expression for the effective action and identify the various terms.
