Classical Transport Theory and Hard Thermal Loops in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
P. F. Kelly, Q. Liu, C. Lucchesi +1
Classical transport theory for colored particles is investigated and employed to derive the hard thermal loops of QCD. A formal construction of phase-space for color degrees of fre…
Deriving the Hard Thermal Loops of QCD from Classical Transport Theory
P. F. Kelly, Q. Liu, C. Lucchesi +1
Classical transport theory is employed to analyze the hot quark-gluon plasma at the leading order in the coupling constant. A condition on the (covariantly conserved) color current…
Hard Thermal Loops, Static Response and the Composite Effective Action
R. Jackiw, Q. Liu, C. Lucchesi
First, we investigate the static non-Abelian Kubo equation. We prove that it does not possess finite energy solutions; thereby we establish that gauge theories do not support hard…
Twisting to Abelian BF/Chern-Simons Theories
R. Brooks, J. -G. Demers, C. Lucchesi
Starting from a , supersymmetric theory for matter fields, a twist with a Grassmann parity change is defined which maps the theory into a gauge fixed, abelian theor…
