Thermodynamics of theories with sixteen supercharges in non-trivial vacua

Gianluca Grignani, Luca Griguolo, Nicola Mori +1

We study the thermodynamics of maximally supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory on $\mathds{R}\times S^2$ at large $N$. The model arises as a consistent truncation of $\mathcal{N}=4$ s…
