Revised phase diagram of the Gross-Neveu model

Full Phase Diagram of the Massive Gross-Neveu Model

The massive Gross-Neveu model is solved in the large N limit at finite temperature and chemical potential. The scalar potential is given in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. It contains three parameters which are determined by transcendental equations. Self-consistency of the scalar potential is proved. The phase diagram for non-zero bare quark mass is found to contain a kink-antikink crystal...

Phase Diagram of Gross-Neveu Model at Finite Temperature, Density and Constant Curvature

We discuss a phase structure of chiral symmetry breaking in the Gross-Neveu model at finite temperature, density and constant curvature. The effective potential is evaluated in the leading order of the 1/N -expansion and in a weak curvature approximation. The third order critical line is found on the critical surface in the parameter space of temperature, chemical potential and constant curvatu...

Gross – Neveu Model

for i = 1, · · · , N . Note that the sum over i is taken inside the parenthes before taking the square, which is not very clear in the way Peskin–Schroeder writes the Lagrangian density. I’ve put the subscript g0 to indicate that it is the bare coupling. This model describes massless spin 1/2 fermions in one spatial dimension with an attractive short-range potential. What the model does is that...

The Gross-Neveu model and QCDs chiral phase transition

Quantum chromodynamics has a rather complicated phase structure. The finite temperature, chiral phase structure depends on the number of flavours and to a large extent on the particular values of the fermion masses. For two massless flavours there is a true second order transition. It has been argued that this transition belongs to the universality class of the three-dimensional O(4) spin model...
