A Model to Study Finite-Size and Magnetic Effects on the Phase Transition of a Fermion Interacting System

Abstract

We present a model to study effects from an external magnetic field, chemical potential, and finite size, on the phase structure of a massive four- and six-fermion interacting system. These effects are introduced by a method of compactification of coordinates, a generalization of the standard Matsubara prescription. Through the compactification of the $z$ coordinate and of imaginary time, we describe a heated system with the shape of a film of thickness $L$, at temperature ${\beta }^{-1}$ undergoing first- or second-order phase transition. We have found a strong dependence of the temperature transition on the constants couplings $\lambda$ and $\eta$. Besides magnetic catalysis and symmetry breaking for both kinds of transition, we have found an inverse symmetry breaking phenomenon with respect to first-order phase transition.
