A space-time approach to multi-gluon loop computations in QCD: an application to effective action terms

摘要

The applicability of the space-time formulation of the gluonic sector of QCD in terms of the Polyakov worldline path integral, via the use of the background field gauge fixing method, is extended to multi-gluon loop configurations. Relevant master formulas are derived for the computation of effective action terms. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. References: 20
