We study the U(1)-invariant Abelian Higgs model at a finite temperature and a finite chemical potential, at the one-loop level of approximation, and show the existence of chemical-potential-induced multiple-phase transitions at finite temperatures. The temperature and density dependence of the coupling constants is also analyzed. The gauge invariance of the results obtained is demonstrated.

The problem of gauge dependence of the zero gauge field component condensate, A0 = const ., in the framework of finite temperature SU(2) gluodynamics is investigated. In straightforward calculations it is shown that the two-loop effective action W (A0, ξ) satisfies the generalized Nielsen identity. Thus, the gauge invariance of the A0-condensation is proved.

Self-energy corrections induced by the presence of thermal gravitons are computed at the one-loop level. It is found that thermal gravitons lead to a decreasing, effective temperature-dependent mass contrary to the situation in ordinary gauge theories where the effective mass is an increasing function of the temperature. It is argued that for 4πT2 larger then [Formula: see text], massive modes in the system are damped out in time or they cause instabilities. We also verify that the temperature-dependent effective mass satisfies Weinberg’s on-shell gauge invariance.
