The magnetized (2+1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu model at finite density

Abstract

We perform a lattice study of the ($2+1$)-dimensional Gross-Neveu model in a background magnetic field $B$ and at non-zero chemical potential $\mu$. The complex-action problem arising in our simulations using overlap fermions is under control. For $B=0$ we observe a first-order phase transition in $\mu$ even at non-vanishing temperatures. Our main finding, however, is that the rich phase structure found in the limit of infinite flavor number $N_{\mathrm{f}}$ is washed out by the fluctuations present at $N_{\mathrm{f}}=1$. We find no evidence for inverse magnetic catalysis, i.e., the decrease of the order parameter of chiral symmetry breaking with $B$ for $\mu$ close to the chiral phase transition. Instead, the magnetic field tends to enhance the breakdown of chiral symmetry for all values of $\mu$ below the transition. Moreover, we find no trace of spatial inhomogeneities in the order parameter. We briefly comment on the potential relevance of our results for QCD.
