5. Conclusion We have derived time evolution equations with respect to gauge invariant density matrix in pure Yang Mills theory (Gluodynamics) We adopt an initial condition motivated by Color Glass Condensate and simulate the dynamics of gluons after heavy ion collisions. As a result we have seen that the density matrix relaxes to a non-thermal state at a short time due to tunneling effects (instantons).
