Angular intricacies in hot gauge field theories

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

It is argued that in hot gauge field theories, "Hard Thermal Loops" leading order calculations call for a definite sequence of angular averages and discontinuity (or Imaginary part prescription) operations, and run otherwise into incorrect results. The ten years old collinear singularity problem of hot QCDQCD, provides a striking illustration of that fate.
