TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that classical SU(3) gauge theory exhibits deterministic chaos, calculates its Lyapunov exponent, and estimates the thermalization time scale of a gluon system, linking it to gluon damping rates.
Contribution
It provides the first calculation of the Lyapunov exponent for classical SU(3) gauge theory and connects chaos to thermalization in gluon systems.
Findings
SU(3) gauge theory is deterministic chaotic
Largest Lyapunov exponent is determined
Thermalization time scale of gluon system estimated
Abstract
The classical SU(3) gauge theory is shown to be deterministic chaotic. Its largest Lyapunov exponent is dertermined, from which a short time scale of thermalization of a pure gluon system is estimated. The connection to gluon damping rate is discussed.
