High temperature color conductivity at next-to-leading log order
Peter Arnold, Laurence G. Yaffe
The non-Abelian analog of electrical conductivity at high temperature has previously been known only at leading logarithmic order: that is, neglecting effects suppressed only by an…
Non-perturbative dynamics of hot non-Abelian gauge fields: beyond leading log approximation
Peter Arnold, Laurence G. Yaffe
Many aspects of high-temperature gauge theories, such as the electroweak baryon number violation rate, color conductivity, and the hard gluon damping rate, have previously been und…
Effective Field Theory for Highly Ionized Plasmas
Lowell S. Brown, Laurence G. Yaffe
We examine the equilibrium properties of hot, dilute, non-relativistic plasmas. The partition function and density correlation functions of a classical plasma with several species…
From Instantons to Sphalerons: Time-Dependent Periodic Solutions of SU(2)-Higgs Theory
Keith L. Frost, Laurence G. Yaffe
We solve numerically for periodic, spherically symmetric, classical solutions of SU(2)-Higgs theory in four-dimensional Euclidean space. In the limit of short periods the solutions…
Longitudinal subtleties in diffusive Langevin equations for non-Abelian plasmas
Peter Arnold, Dam T. Son, Laurence G. Yaffe
Boedeker has recently argued that non-perturbative processes in very high temperature non-Abelian plasmas (such as electroweak baryon number violation in the very hot early Univers…
