Hosotani mechanism in the "color"-singlet plasma
Abstract: By projecting the partition function on the "color"-singlet state, we investigate the Hosotani mechanism in the fermion-gauge boson plasma. The present toy-model analysis of the one-loop effective potential at finite temperature shows that the critical temperature of gauge symmetry breaking increases at higher temperature in the smaller volume.
