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 is obtained. {}From this condition, the generating functional of hard thermal loops with an arbitrary number of soft external bosonic legs can be derived. Our approach, besides being more direct than alternative ones, shows that hard thermal loops are essentially classical.

  1. Covariant equations of motion of massive spinning particles in a background Yang-Mills field

    nucl-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    A spinning quark in a background Yang-Mills field obeys a new, constraint-preserving, gauge-invariant set of classical equations of motion that reduce to the Wong equations when spin effects are turned off.
