Owing to subtle issues concerning quantum fluctuations and gauge fixing, a formulation of a general procedure to specify the realization of non-Abelian gauge symmetry has evaded all earlier attempts. In this Letter, we discuss these…
In this work we provide a numerical method to obtain the Bloch-Nordsieck spectral function at finite temperature in the framework of the 2PI approximation. We find that the 2PI results nicely agree with the exact one, provided we perform a…
