✦ Synopsis

Starting from the basic equations for the quantized electromagnetic tield. the authors use Bogolyubov's principle of weakening of initial correlations to derive a quantum kinetic equation for photons in a plasma. The simplest approximation leads to the usual equation of radiative transfer. Kirchhoff's radiation law is discussed.

We study the production of photons from a quark-gluon plasma in local thermal equilibrium by introducing a non-perturbative formulation of the real time evolution of the density matrix. The main ingredient is the real time effective action for the electromagnetic field to O(α em ) and to all orders
