Evidence for a BKT transition and a pseudogap phase in three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model at nonzero temperature

Abstract

We present results from Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model with a U(1) chiral symmetry at nonzero temperature. We provide evidence that the model undergoes a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in accordance with the dimensional reduction scenario. We also identify a regime in the high temperature phase in which the fermions acquire nonzero dynamical mass, analogous to the pseudogap behaviour observed in cuprate superconductors.
