Abstract

We study the thermodynamic behaviour of the real β\beta- and γi\gamma_i-deformation of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 Super Yang-Mills theory on R×S3\mathbb{R}\times S^3 in the planar limit. These theories were shown to be the most general asymptotically integrable supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric field-theory deformations of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 Super Yang-Mills theory, respectively. We calculate the first loop correction to their partition functions using an extension of the dilatation-operator and P\'{o}lya-counting approach. In particular, we account for the one-loop finite-size effects which occur for operators of length one and two. Remarkably, we find that the O(λ)\mathcal{O}(\lambda) correction to the Hagedorn temperature is independent of the deformation parameters, although the partition function depends on them in a non-trivial way.
