Abstract
The effective action for hard thermal loops in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is related to a gauged Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten theory. Some of the technical issues of this approach are clarified and the Hamiltonian formulation is presented. The two-point correlator for the induced current in QCD is obtained; some simplifications of the dynamics of the longitudinal modes are also pointed out.Keywords
