Abstract

The properties of the two-flavored Gross-Neveu model in the (1+1)-dimensional R1×S1R^1\times S^1 spacetime with compactified space coordinate are investigated in the presence of the isospin chemical potential μI\mu_I. The consideration is performed in the limit NcN_c\to\infty, i.e. in the case with infinite number of colored quarks. It is shown that at L=L=\infty (LL is the length of the circumference S1S^1) the pion condensation phase is realized for arbitrary small nonzero μI\mu_I. At finite values of LL, the phase portraits of the model in terms of parameters νμI\nu\sim\mu_I and λ1/L\lambda\sim 1/L are obtained both for periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions of the quark field. It turns out that in the plane (λ,ν)(\lambda,\nu) there is a strip 0λ<λc0\le\lambda<\lambda_c which lies as a whole inside the pion condensed phase. In this phase the pion condensation gap is an oscillating function vs both λ\lambda (at fixed ν\nu) and ν\nu (at fixed λ\lambda).
