Hosotani mechanism in the "color"-singlet plasma
arXiv:2103.15264 · doi:10.5506/APhysPolB.53.7-A1
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.
