Abstract

We compute the grand partition function of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SYM at one-loop in the SU(2)SU(2) sector with general chemical potentials, extending the results of P\'olya's theorem. We make use of finite group theory, applicable to all orders of 1/Nc1/N_c expansion. We show that only the planar terms contribute to the grand partition function, which is therefore equal to the grand partition function of an ensemble of XXX12_\frac12 spin chains. We discuss how Hagedorn temperature changes on the complex plane of chemical potentials.
