Non-Abelian Thermal Large Gauge Transformations in 2+1 Dimensions
Abstract
We discuss several different constructions of non-Abelian large gauge transformations at finite temperature. Pisarski's ansatz with even winding number is related to Hopf mappings, and we present a simple new ansatz that has any integer winding number at finite temperature.
