Abstract: (APS)
We present numerical evidence that the real-time Hamiltonian dynamics of SU(2) gauge theory on a spatial lattice exhibits deterministic chaos in the semiclassical limit. We determine the largest Lyapunov exponent of the gauge field as a function of energy density, and derive a nonperturbative expression for the thermalization time.- lattice field theory
