Description

The partition function and thermodynamic potential are calculated in arbitrary space-time dimension d for scalar and spinor fields coupled to a constant vacuum gauge potential gA0 at finite temperature T. For d = 2,4,6,..., closed expressions in terms of Bernoulli polynomials are obtained. This generalizes known results for d = 4
