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(Ξ± em ) and to all orders

The quark ΟΟ and gluon F¡νF ¡ν vacuum expectation values are non-vanishing at low orders in Ξ±s when the perturbative ground state includes quark and gluon pairs. This offers possibilities of studying the effects of a non-trivial vacuum using formally exact perturbative methods. The QCD Feynman rules
The leading non-perturbative QCD corrections to the one-gluon exchange quark-quark, quarkantiquark and qt7 pair-excitation potentials are derived by using a covariant form of non-local two-quark and two-gluon vacuum expectation values. Our numerical calculation indicates that the correction of quark
We present a new normalization condition for the axial current, which is derived from the PCAC relation with non-vanishing mass. Using this condition reduces the O(rom) corrections to the axial current normalization constant ZA for an easier chiral extrapolation in the cases, where simulations at ze
We discuss how lattice calculations can be a useful tool for the study of structure functions. Particular emphasis is given to the perturbative renormalization of the operators.
