In this paper, we derive a simple sum rule satisfied by the gluon spectral function at finite temperature. This sum rule is useful in order to calculate exactly some integrals that appear frequently in the photon or dilepton production rate by a quark gluon plasma. Using this sum rule, we rederive simply some known results and obtain some new results that would be extremely difficult to justify otherwise. In particular, we derive an exact expression for the collision integral that appears in the calculation of the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect.

  1. Collisional energy loss distribution of a fast parton in a hot or dense QCD medium

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The probability distribution for collisional energy loss of a fast parton in hot QCD matter is derived from a resummed kinetic equation using hard-thermal-loop scatterings.

  2. Full energy fraction and angular dependence of medium-induced splittings in the large-$N_c$ limit

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In large-Nc and harmonic oscillator limits, medium-induced splittings are computed analytically double-differential in z and θ, with an improved semi-hard approximation validated for high-energy partons.

  3. Jet Momentum Broadening in Viscous QCD Matter: A Moment Expansion Approach

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The jet broadening tensor qhat^ij in near-equilibrium QCD is controlled by the medium shear-stress tensor within the 14-moment approximation.
