| dc.description | Summation over hard thermal loops, by themselves and as insertions in higher order Feynman diagrams, is important in thermal perturbation theory for Quantum Chromodynamics, so that all contributions of a given order in the coupling constant can be consistently taken into account. I review some of the basic properties of hard thermal loops and how the generating functional for them is related to the eikonal for a Chern-Simons gauge theory, and using an auxiliary field, to the gauged Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten action. The Hamiltonian analysis of the effective action and a discussion of plasma waves are given. It is also pointed out that a possible expression for the magnetic mass term can be written in a closely related way. | |
