Analytic closed form for the leading high-temperature free-energy integral

Derive an analytic closed-form expression for the convergent integral representation of the leading high-temperature free energy of the large-\(N\) critical \(O(N)\) model with angular potential, given in equation (\ref{eq:physical-functional}).

Background

The authors reduce the leading high-temperature free energy per scalar component to an expression involving a single convergent integral over the angular-velocity parameter xx and the thermal mass m~β\tilde m\beta. This representation is useful for deriving systematic expansions near zero angular potential and near the pole at x=0x=0.

Although the integral can be evaluated numerically and is used in the subsequent asymptotic analysis, the paper does not obtain an analytic closed-form evaluation. Finding such a form remains an explicit unresolved calculation within the framework developed in the paper.

References

This integral is convergent and can be computed numerically, however we could not find any analytic closed form expression.
