Abstract

We present an effective classical theory for the soft modes of a high temperature non-Abelian plasma. This theory is formulated in local, Hamiltonian form, and is well suited for numerical non-perturbative studies of the real-time dynamics. It includes the short-range dynamics in the hard thermal loop approximation, with appropriate corrections which take care of the cutoff effects in a gauge-invariant way. By using this theory for lattice calculations, one should be able to compute the rate of anomalous baryon number violation, thus solving a recent controversy.
