Abstract
In high-temperature QCD, an infinite set of higher loop diagrams must be resummed in order to compute the gluon damping rates to leading order in the coupling constant. After resummation, the damping rates, as determined by the positions of the poles in the gluon propagator, are gauge invariant.Keywords
