Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4981–4984 (1999)Mean Field Dynamics in Non-Abelian Plasmas from Classical Transport TheoryReceived 1 March 1999; published in the issue dated 21 June 1999 Based on classical transport theory, we present a general set of covariant equations describing the dynamics of mean fields and their statistical fluctuations in a non-Abelian plasma in or out of equilibrium. A procedure to obtain the collision integrals for the Boltzmann equation from the microscopic theory is described. As an application, we study a hot non-Abelian plasma close to equilibrium, where the fluctuations are integrated out explicitly. For soft fields, and at logarithmic accuracy, we obtain Bödeker's effective theory. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
