Abstract
The finite-temperature effective potential of the O(N) linear \sigma model is studied, with emphasis on the implications for the investigation of hot hadron dynamics. The contributions from all the ``bubble diagrams'' are fully taken into account for arbitrary N; this also allows to address some long-standing issues concerning the use of non-perturbative approaches in (finite-temperature) field theory.
