The long wavelength limit of hard thermal loop effective actions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-03-24 v1

Abstract

We derive a closed form expression for the long wavelength limit of the effective action for hard thermal loops in an external gravitational field. It is a function of the metric, independent of time derivatives. It is compared and contrasted with the static limit, and with the corresponding limits in an external Yang-Mills field.
