Abstract

I study the fermionic U(N)U(N) Gross-Neveu model at imaginary chemical potential and finite temperature for odd dd dimensions, in the strong coupling regime, by using the gap (saddle point) equation for the fermion condensate of the model. This equation describes the phase transitions from weak to strong coupling regime. I point out that the higher odd dimensional gap equations are linear combinations of the lower dimensional equations in a way that as the dimension of the model increases the lower dimensions are weaker coupled but still in the strong coupling regime. Interestingly, at a specific value of the chemical potential, exactly in the middle of the thermal windows that separate the fermionic from the bosonic (condensed) state of the fermions, I find the mass of the fermion condensate for d=3,5,7,9d=3,5,7,9. An anomaly occurs at the 55 dimensional theory where it is stronger coupled against other theories in higher dimensions and lower energy. The main idea of this work is that the cut-off Λ\Lambda regulator for the UV divergent parts of the fermion mass saddle point equation, plays the role of a physical parameter. This idea is based on the identity of the asymptotic freedom of the Gross-Neveu model as a toy model for QCD.
