Semi-classical transport theory for non-Abelian plasmas
We review a semi-classical transport theory for non-Abelian plasmas based on a classical picture of coloured point particles. Within this formalism, kinetic equations for the mean particle distribution, the mean fields and their fluctuations are obtained using an ensemble-average in phase space. The framework permits the integrating-out of fluctuations in a systematic manner. This leads to the ...
متن کاملDeriving effective transport equations for non-Abelian plasmas
Within classical transport theory, an approach is presented to derive systematically effective collision terms and noise sources for effective kinetic equations of nonAbelian plasmas. This procedure amounts to the ‘integrating-out’ of fluctuations, and is applicable for inand out-of-equilibrium situations. When applied to a hot non-Abelian plasma close to equilibrium we recover the collision in...
متن کاملAspects of Semi-classical Transport Theory for Qcd A
We discuss some aspects of a recently proposed semi-classical transport theory for QCD plasmas based on coloured point particles. This includes the derivation of effective transport equations for mean fields and fluctuations which relies on the Gibbs ensemble average. Correlators of fluctuations are interpreted as collision integrals for the effective Boltzmann equation. The approach yields a r...
متن کاملClassical Non-abelian Solitons
In two space-time dimensions a class of classical multicomponent scalar field theories with discrete, in general non-Abelian global symmetry is considered. The corresponding soliton solutions are given for the cases of 2, 3, and 4 components. E–mail: [email protected] Recently renewed interest in solitons has arisen in connection with exceptional statistics occuring in low-dimensional quantu...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory for Quasi - Classical Plasmas
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 are expressed in terms of a functional integral over electrostatic potential distributions. This is a convenient formulation for performing a well-defined perturbative expansion. The leading order, field-theoretic tre...
