Abstract
The effective action for hard thermal loops in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is related to a gauged Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten theory. Some o f the technical issues of this approach are clarified and the Hamilton ian formulation is presented. The two-point correlator for the induced current in QCD is obtained; some simplifications of the dynamics of t he longitudinal modes are also pointed out.
