We study the effects of temperature andpairing on pseudospin symmetry in spherical and deformed nucleus using the Dirac-Hartree-Bogoliubov (DHB) formalism. We include temperature in the DHB equation using the Matsubara formalism and analyze changes in the neutron single particle levels with the temperature. We show that the effect of temperature on the pseudospin energy splitting is small. We find that this splitting decreases at high temperatures and that pseudospin partners are almost degenerate in deformed hot nuclei, indicating the dependence of pseudospin symmetry on the nuclear surface. Furthermore, for reasonable values of the pairing interaction, we also show that pairing does not affect the pseudospin symmetry in deformed nuclei. Finally, we find that the effect of temperature on pseudospin doublets is more pronounced in spherical nuclei than in deformed ones.
