Correlation functions and dissipation in hot QCD
Abstract
A recently proposed generating functional allows the construction of the full set of n-point Green functions in QCD at high temperature and at distances larger than 1/( gT). One may then learn how the system maintains its thermal equilibrium in the quantum field theory approach, i.e., which process compensates for the important dissipation due to collisions. This system may be characterized by quantities which have a classical limit. One finds that the fluctuations of the colour field are not Gaussian ones. A comparison is made with Bödeker's classical approach where a random noise is the source of fluctuations.
