The Instanton Density at Finite Temperatures

Abstract

For low T new strict results for the instanton density n(T) are reported. Using the PCAC methods, we express n(T) in terms of vacuum average values of certain operators, times their calculated T-dependence. At high T, we discuss the applicability limits of the perturbative results. We further speculate about possible behaviour of n(T) at T Tc.
