Lyapunov Exponent and Plasmon Damping Rate in Nonabelian Gauge Theories
arXiv:hep-ph/9409392 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.52.1260
Abstract
We explain why the maximal positive Lyapunov exponent of classical SU($N$) gauge theory coincides with (twice) the damping rate of a plasmon at rest in the leading order of thermal gauge theory. [This is a substantially revised and expanded version of the manuscript.]
