The effects of fluctuations on the Peierls transition in one dimension are calculated by taking a functional average over variations in the order parameter. It is found that the transition is suppressed to a temperature of approximately one quarter of the mean-field transition but remains fairly sharp. The coherence length and density of states are calculated as a function of temperature, and brief comparison is made to experimental systems.
