What is Aspects of Higher-Abelian Gauge Theories at Zero and Finite Temperature: Topological Casimir Effect, Duality and Polyakov Loops about?

This paper investigates higher-abelian gauge theories on compact manifolds, focusing on their functional integral formulation and the topological Casimir effect at zero and finite temperatures. It introduces an extended higher-abelian Maxwell theory and derives expressions for free energy, highlighting the influence of background topology on vacuum energy and thermal states. The study aims to enhance understanding of the interplay between topology and temperature in these gauge theories, filling a gap in ex
