Hosotani mechanism in the "color"-singlet plasma

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-07-01 v5

Abstract

By projecting the partition function on the "color"-singlet state, we investigate the Hosotani mechanism in the fermion-gauge boson plasma. The present toy-model analysis of the one-loop effective potential at finite temperature shows that the critical temperature of gauge symmetry breaking increases at higher temperature in the smaller volume.
