Thermodynamics of abelian forms in real compact hyperbolic spaces

We analyze gauge theories based on abelian p-forms in real compact hyperbolic manifolds. The explicit thermodynamic functions associated with skew-symmetric tensor fields are obtained via zeta-function regularization and the trace tensor kernel formula. Thermodynamic quantities in the high-temperature expansions are calculated and the entropy/energy ratios are established.
