Comment on current correlators in QCD at finite temperature
We address some criticisms by Eletsky and Ioffe on the extension of QCD sum rules to finite temperature. We argue that this extension is possible, provided the Operator Product Expansion and QCD-hadron duality remain valid at non-zero temperature. We discuss evidence in support of this from QCD, and from the exactly solvable two- dimensional sigma model O(N) in the large N limit, and the Schwinger model.
