Real Time Simulations in Lattice Gauge Theory

I review the study of real (Minkowski) time correlators in hot, weakly coupled Yang-Mills theory via lattice methods. I concentrate on the Minkowski time topological susceptibility, which is related to the efficiency of baryon number violation at high temperature. It can be computed by approximating the IR fields as classical and solving their dynamics nonperturbatively on the lattice. However it is essential to include the UV degrees of freedom. Their influence can be computed perturbatively and included in the lattice model by the addition of auxiliary fields
