Free Energy of an SU(2) Model of (2+1)-dimensional QCD in the Constant Condensate Background

Abstract

Gluon and quark contributions to the thermodynamic potential (free energy) of a (2+1)-dimensional QCD model at finite temperature in the background of a constant homogeneous chromomagnetic field H combined with A_0 condensate are calculated. The role of the tachyonic mode in the gluon energy spectrum is discussed. A possibility of the free energy global minimum generation at nonzero values of H and A_0 condensates is investigated.
