Description
Classical Yang-Mills theory calculations are frequently used to study nonequilibrium phenomena in nonperturbative overoccupied systems, especially in the context of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We study the limits of the quasiparticle picture of the classical Yang-Mills fields by determining the plasmon mass of the system using 3 different methods. We also demonstrate an algorithm which allows us to simulate quantum fluctuations on top of a classical background field, while keeping the separation between the two manifest. We also test a lattice implementation of the algorithm and demonstrate that the linearization indeed works and that the Gauss's law is conserved.
