Finite temperature effective potential on hyperbolic spacetimes

Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: The finite temperature one-loop effective potential for a scalar field defined on an ultrastatic spacetime, whose spatial part is a compact, nonsimply connected hyperbolic manifold, is studied. Different analytic expressions, especially valuable at low and high temperature, are derived. Based on these results, the symmetry breaking and the topological mass generation are discussed. The role of nontrivial topology is pointed out.
