Damping of fermions in hot gauge theories
Keyword(s):
The calculation of the massless fermion damping rate to order g2T in the long-wavelength limit of hot gauge theories using the recently developed resummation methods in terms of hard thermal loops is reviewed. Ward identities between the effective propagators and vertices are used to formally prove the gauge independence of the damping rate to this order in a wide class of gauges. We also discuss some aspects of the cutoff dependence of the gauge-dependent terms proportional to the mass-shell condition.
