Chaos Driven by Soft-Hard Mode Coupling in Thermal Yang-Mills Theory

arXiv:hep-ph/9504303 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(95)01205-5

Abstract

We argue on a basis of a simple few mode model of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory that the color off-diagonal coupling of the soft plasmon to hard thermal excitations of the gauge field drives the collective plasma oscillations into chaotic motion despite the presence of the plasmon mass.
