Cool Pions move at less than the speed of light

Abstract

At nonzero temperature, pions propagate through a thermal medium at less than the speed of light. About low temperature, this effect begins not at $\sim T^2$, but at next to leading order, $\sim T^4$. We also derive the generalization of the relation of Gell-Mann, Oakes, and Renner to nonzero temperature.Comment: 11 pages, latex + sprocl.sty, talk given at Continuous Advances in QCD'96, Minneapoli
