Description

In order to match two complementary approaches to quark gluon plasma, namely the classical hamiltonian lattice gauge field simulation which uses the temporal axial gauge, and hot perturbative QCD which rather uses the Coulomb or the covariant gauge, a general expression is obtained for the hard thermal loop gluon propagator for a variety of non-background gauge fixing conditions. The Coulomb energy is shown to be independent of the gauge fixing condition. (author)
