Particle density in zero temperature symmetry restoring phase transitions in four-fermion interaction models
Abstract
By means of critical behaviors of the dynamical fermion mass in four-fermion interaction models, we have shown by explicit calculations that when T=0 the particle density will have a discontinuous jumping across the critical chemical potential in 2D and 3D Gross-Neveu (GN) model and these physically explain the first order feature of corresponding symmetry restoring phase transitions. For second order phase transitions in 3D GN model when and in 4D Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model when T=0, it has been proven that the particle density itself will be continuous across but its derivative over the chemical potential will have a discontinuous jumping. The results give a physical explanation of implications of the tricritical point in 3D GN model. The discussions also show effectiveness of the critical analysis approach of phase transitions.
