Abstract

First, within one diagram of Φ\Phi we discuss general properties of a system of heavy fermions of one kind (including antiparticles) interacting with rather light bosons of one kind. Fermion chemical potential is assumed to be small, μf\lsimT\mu_f \lsim T. Already for the low temperature, Tmin(Tbl.f,mb)T\ll {min} (T_{\rm bl.f}, m_{b}), the fermion mass shell proves to be partially blurred due to multiple fermion rescatterings on virtual bosons, mbm_{b} is the boson mass, Tbl.fT_{\rm bl.f} (mf)(\ll m_f) is the typical temperature corresponding to a complete blurring of the gap between fermion-antifermion continua, mfm_f is the fermion mass. As the result, the ratio of the number of fermion-antifermion pairs to the number provided by the ordinary Boltzmann distribution becomes larger than unit (RN>1R_N >1). For T\gsimmb(T)T\gsim m_{b}^* (T) (hot hadron liquid, blurred boson continuum), mb(T)m_{b}^* (T) is the effective boson mass, the abundance of all particles dramatically increases. The effective fermion mass mf(T)m_f^* (T) decreases with the temperature increase. For T\gsimTbl.fT\gsim T_{\rm bl.f} fermions are essentially relativistic particles. Due to the interaction of the boson with fermion-antifermion pairs, mb(T)m_{b}^* (T) decreases leading to the possibility of the ``hot Bose condensation'' for T>TcbT>T_{cb}. The phase transition might be of the second order or of the first order depending on the species under consideration. We estimate RN1.5R_N \sim 1.5 for Tmπ/2T\sim m_{\pi}/2; Tbl.fT_{\rm bl.f} proves to be near TcbT_{cb}; both values are in the vicinity of the pion mass mπm_{\pi}.
