Description
The finite temperature one-loop effective potential for a scalar field defined on an ultrastatic space-time, 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
