Lyapunov Exponent and Plasmon Damping Rate in Nonabelian Gauge Theories
Abstract
We explain why the maximal positive Lyapunov exponent of classical SU(N) gauge theory coincides with (twice) the damping rate of a plasmon at rest in the leading order of thermal gauge theory. [This is a substantially revised and expanded version of the manuscript.]
