Thermal Effective Potential of the O(N) Linear sigma Model

arXiv:hep-ph/9702403 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(97)00709-0

Abstract

The finite-temperature effective potential of the O(N) linear σmodel 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.
