Abstract

We study the behavior of two diferent models at finite temperature in a DD-dimensional spacetime. The first one is the λφ4\lambda\varphi^{4} model and the second one is the Gross-Neveu model. Using the one-loop approximation we show that in the λφ4\lambda\varphi^{4} model the thermal mass increase with the temperature while the thermal coupling constant decrese with the temperature. Using this facts we establish that in the (λφ4)D=3(\lambda\varphi^{4})_{D=3} model there is a temperature β1\beta^{-1}_{\star} above which the system can develop a first order phase transition, where the origin corresponds to a metastable vacuum. In the massless Gross-Neveu model, we demonstrate that for D=3D=3 the thermal correction to the coupling constant is zero. For D3D\neq 3 our results are inconclusive.
