The average density at zero temperature was recently studied in Phys. Rev. A $\\textbf{103}$, 033321 (2021) and an interesting multi-layered \"wedding cake\" structure with a \"hole\" at the center was found for the density in the large $N$ limit. In this paper, we study the average density at finite temperature. We demonstrate how this \"wedding-cake\" structure is modified at finite temperature. These large $N$ results warrant going much beyond the standard Local Density Approximation. We also generalize our results to a wide variety of trapping potentials and demonstrate the universality of the associated scaling functions both in the bulk and at the edges of the \"wedding-cake\".", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-04T05:02:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite temperature", "noninteracting fermions", "average density", "density profile", "standard local density approximation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
