Abstract

We study chiral symmetry breaking in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model regularized in proper-time in arbitrary space-time dimensions through an iterative procedure by writing the gap equation in the form of a discrete dynamical system with the coupling constant as the control parameter. Expectedly, we obtain the critical coupling for chiral symmetry breaking when a nontrivial solution bifurcates away from the trivial one and becomes an attractor. By increasing further the value of the coupling constant, we observe a second bifurcation where the dynamical solution is no longer an attractor, and observation that holds true in all space-time dimensions. In the super-strong coupling regime, the system becomes chaotic.
