We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in quantum field theories with fermionic order parameters and construct, for the first time in the literature, the constraint effective potential for it. The Grassmann-valued constraint we encounter is…
We investigate the role of inhomogeneous field configurations in systems with a spontaneously broken continuous global symmetry. Spontaneous breaking is usually defined as a specific double limit, first infinite volume at finite explicit…
Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QCD with massless quarks at infinite volume can be seen in a finite box by studying, for instance, the dependence of the chiral condensate from the volume and the quark mass. We perform a feasibility…
We discuss spontaneously broken quantum field theories with a continuous symmetry group via the constraint effective potential. Employing lattice simulations with constrained values of the order parameter, we demonstrate explicitly that the…
We propose a new method for the study of the chiral properties of the ground state in QFT's based on the computation of the probability distribution function of the chiral condensate. It can be applied directly in the chiral limit and…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of the light-front Gross-Neveu model is studied in the framework of the discretized light-cone quantization. Introducing a scalar auxiliary field and adding its kinetic term, we obtain a constraint on the…
We study the $(1+1)$-dimensional chiral Gross-Neveu model on the lattice. At finite density, analytic mean-field results predict the existence of inhomogeneous condensates breaking both chiral symmetry and spacetime symmetries…
We obtain effective potential of $O(N)$-symmetric $\phi^4$ theory for large $N$ starting with a finite lattice system and taking the thermodynamic limit with great care. In the thermodynamic limit, it is globally real-valued and convex in…
We investigate the critical behaviour of a three-dimensional lattice $\chiU\phi_3$ model in the chiral limit. The model consists of a staggered fermion field, a U(1) gauge field (with coupling parameter $\beta$) and a complex scalar field…
Using a non-perturbative approximation for the partition function of a complex scalar model, which features spontaneous symmetry breaking, we explicitly derive the flattening of the effective potential in the region limited by the minima of…
We study the (2+1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu model at non-zero chemical potential and subjected to a homogeneous background magnetic field. We do so both analytically, in the limit of an infinite number of fermion flavors in which mean-field…
We study the $O(2N)$ symmetric Gross-Neveu model at finite density in the presence of a $U(1)$ chemical potential $h$ for a generic number $a \leq N-2$ of fermion fields. By combining perturbative quantum field theory, semiclassical large…
According to the Nielsen-Ninomiya No-Go theorem, the doubling of fermions on the lattice cannot be suppressed in a chiral theory. Whereas Wilson and staggered fermions suppress doublers with explicit breaking of chiral symmetry, the random…
Due to effective enhancement of the Coulomb coupling strength in the vacuum-suspended graphene, the system may turn from a semimetal into an insulator by the formation of a gap in the fermionic spectrum. This phenomenon is analogous to the…
We propose a novel lattice calculation of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QED model with 2+1 dimensional fermion brane. Considering the relativistic action with gauge symmetry we rigorously carry out path integral in Monte-Carlo…
Recent lattice data indicates that volume occupied by topological fermionic modes shrinks to zero in the continuum limit of vanishing lattice spacing. The data apparently cannot be accommodated within, say, conventional instanton model. We…
We construct a fermionic lattice model containing interacting spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fermions with an $O(4)$ symmetry. In addition the model contains a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ chiral symmetry which prevents a fermion mass term. Our model is motivated by…
We investigate dynamical symmetry breaking of the Gross-Neveu model in the light-front formalism without introducing auxiliary fields. While this system cannot have zero-mode constraints, we find that a nontrivial solution to the constraint…
The physics of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the case of the simultaneous presence of a magnetic field and a fermionic quartic interaction is discussed for both local and nonlocal kernels in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. The approach is…
We present a new picture of global symmetry breaking in quantum field theory and propose a novel realization of symmetry breaking phenomena in terms of the conserved charge associated with its symmetry. In particular, the fermion condensate…
