A Lagrangian for gauge fields coupled to fermions with the Kac-Moody group as its gauge group yields, for the pure fermions sector, an ideal gas of Kac-Moody fermions. The canonical partition function for the Û(1) case is shown to have a maximum temperature kTM=‖λ‖/π, where λ is the coupling of the supercharge operator G0 to the fermions. This result is similar to the case of strings but unlike strings the result is obtained from a well-defined Lagrangian. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
