Abstract
The importance of studying matter at high increases as more
astrophysical data
becomes available from recently launched spacecrafts. The importance of
high-T studies derives from heavy-ion data.
In this paper we set up a formalism to study the
nucleons and isobars with long- and short-range potentials
non-pertubatively, bosonizing and expanding semi-classically the Feyman
integrals up to one loop. We address the low-density, finite-T problem
first, the case relevant to heavy-ion collisions, hoping to address the
high-density case later. Interactions change
the nucleon and isobar numbers at different and T non-trivially.
