Finite Temperature Induced Fermion Number for Quarks in a Chiral Field
Gerald V. Dunne, Kumar Rao
We compute the finite temperature correction to the induced fermion number for fermions coupled to a static SU(2) chiral background, using the derivative expansion technique. At ze…
Finite Temperature Induced Fermion Number In The Nonlinear sigma Model In (2+1) Dimensions
Gerald V. Dunne, Justo Lopez-Sarrion, Kumar Rao
We compute the finite temperature induced fermion number for fermions coupled to a static nonlinear sigma model background in (2+1) dimensions, in the derivative expansion limit. W…
Thermal Fluctuations of Induced Fermion Number
Gerald V. Dunne, Kumar Rao
We analyze the phemomenon of induced fermion number at finite temperature. At finite temperature, the induced fermion number is a thermal expectation value, and we compute th…
Lam'e Instantons
Gerald V. Dunne, Kumar Rao
We perform a precise analytic test of the instanton approximation by comparing the exact band spectrum of the periodic Lamé potential to the tight-binding, instanton and WKB approx…
