We compute the free energy as a function of the temperature, and we show that it becomes positive below some critical temperature, indicating the possibility of a first order phase transition at which the theory deconfines and restores the chiral symmetry.45 pages, 13 figures, latex. v2: typo fixedHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
