On partition functions and phases of scalars in AdS

Abstract We study the phases of scalar field theories in thermal AdS d+1 spaces for d = 1, 2, 3. The analysis is done for theories with global O(N) symmetry for finite as well as large N. The symmetry-preserving and symmetry-breaking phases are identified as a function of the mass-squared of the sca...
