Phase diagram of the large $N$ Gross-Neveu model in a finite periodic box

Abstract

We analyze the Gross-Neveu model in the limit of large number of flavors of massless fermions. We study the phase diagram in a two and three dimensional periodic box at a fixed thermal to spatial aspect ratio, $\frac{\beta }{\ell }$, with a flavor independent chemical potential. We assume the bilinear condensate, when one exists, has a specific momentum in the spatial direction(s). The main known features of the phase diagram in the $\ell \to \infty$ limit of the two dimensional model are also seen on a finite $\ell \times \beta$ torus -- a phase with a homogeneous (zero momentum) condensate; a phase with an inhomogeneous (non-zero momentum) condensate and a phase with no condensate. We observe that the inhomogeneous phase contains several sub-phases characterized by a specific spatial momentum. Unlike the two dimensional model, we do not find evidence for a phase with a inhomogeneous condensate in the three dimensional model.
