Super Restoration of Chiral Symmetry in Massive Four-Fermion Interaction Models

The chiral symmetry is explicitly and spontaneously broken in a strongly interacting massive fermionic system. We study the chiral symmetry restoration in massive four-fermion interaction models with increasing temperature and chemical potential. At high temperature and large chemical potential, we find the boundaries where the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry can be fully restored in the massive Gross--Neveu model. We call the phenomenon super restoration. The phase boundary is obtained analytically and numerically. In the massive Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, it was found that whether super restoration occurs depends on regularizations. We also evaluate the behavior of the dynamical mass and show the super restoration boundaries on the ordinary phase diagrams.

Precise Phase Structure in Four-fermion Interaction Model on Torus

We investigate finite-size effects on chiral symmetry breaking in a four-fermion interaction model at a finite temperature and a chemical potential. Applying the imaginary time formalism, the thermal quantum field theory is constructed on an $S^1$ in the imaginary time direction. In this paper, the finite-size effect is introduced by a compact $S^1$ spatial direction with a $\mathrm{U}(1)$-valued boundary condition. Thus, we study the model on a $\mathbb{R}^{D-2} \times S^1 \times S^1$ torus. Phase diagrams are obtained by evaluating the local minima of the effective potential in the leading order of the $1/N$ expansion. From the grand potential, we calculate the particle number density and the pressure, then we illustrate the correspondence with the phase structure. We obtain a stable size for which the sign of the pressure flips from negative to positive as the size decreases. Furthermore, the finite chemical potential expands the parameter range that the stable size exists.

Four-Fermion Interaction Model on $\mathcal{M}^{D-1} \otimes S^1$

Four-fermion interaction models are often used as simplified models of interacting fermion fields with the chiral symmetry. The chiral symmetry is dynamically broken for a larger four-fermion coupling. It is expected that the broken symmetry is restored under extreme conditions. In this paper, the finite size effect on the chiral symmetry breaking is investigated in the four-fermion interaction model. We consider the model on a flat spacetime with a compactified spatial coordinate, $\mathcal{M}^{D-1} \otimes S^1$ and obtain explicit expressions of the effective potential for arbitrary spacetime dimensions in the leading order of the $1/N$ expansion. Evaluating the effective potential, we show the critical lines which divide the symmetric and the broken phase and the sign-flip condition for the Casimir force.
