SU(n) gauge theories at finite temperature are examined in terms of the spontaneous breaking of a Z(n) symmetry. It is suggested that the phase transition at finite temperature results from the formation of "bubbles" of an alternate Z(n) vacuum. These Z(n) bubbles are analyzed for lattice gauge theories in the dilute gas approximation and the results are compared with the Monte-Carlo calculations of McLerran and Svetitsky.
