Free energy of a holonomous plasma

Free energy of a holonomous plasma

At a nonzero temperature T, a constant field $\overline{A}_0 \sim T/g$ generates nontrivial eigenvalues of the thermal Wilson line. We discuss contributions to the free energy of such a holonomous plasma when the coupling constant, $g$, is weak. We review the computation to $\sim g^2$ by several alternate methods, and …
