Anisotropic systems of quarks and gluons, which at least for sufficientlyshort space-time intervals can be treated as homogeneous and static, areconsidered. The gluon polarization tensor of such a system is explicitlycomputed within the semiclassical kinetic and Hard Loop diagrammatic theories.The equivalence of the two approaches is demonstrated. The quark self energy iscomputed as well, and finally, the dispersion relations of quarks and gluons inthe anisotropic medium are discussed.Comment: 10 pages, revised to appear in Phys. Rev.
