Abstract

Perturbing the standard Gross-Neveu model for N3N^3 fermions by quartic interactions with the appropriate tensorial contraction patterns, we reduce the original U(N3)U(N^3) symmetry to either U(N)×U(N2)U(N)\times U(N^2) or U(N)×U(N)×U(N)U(N)\times U(N)\times U(N). In the large-NN limit, we show that in three dimensions such models admit new ultraviolet fixed points with reduced symmetry, besides the well-known one with maximal symmetry. The phase diagram notably presents a new phase with spontaneous symmetry breaking of one U(N)U(N) component of the symmetry group.
