Color Glass Condensate in Schwinger-Keldysh QCD

Understand

Within the Schwinger-Keldysh representation of many-body QCD, it is shown that the leading quantum corrections to the strong classical color field is classical in the sense that the fluctuation field still obeys the classical Jacobi-field equation, while the quantum effects solely resides in the fluctuations of the initial field configurations.

• Within this context, a systematic derivation of the JIMWLK renormalization group equation is presented.
• A clear identification of the correct form of gauge transformation rules and the correct form of the matter-field Lagrangian in the Schwinger-Keldysh QCD is also presented.
