Abstract

Analyzed is the effective potential of D-dimensional thermodynamic Gross-Neveu model (defined by large-N leading order, ) under constant electromagnetic field (). The potential is derived from a thermal analogy of the worldline formalism. In the magnetic case, the potential is expressed in terms of a discretized momentum sum instead of a continuum momentum integral, and it reproduces known critical values of and in the continuum limit. In the electric case, chiral symmetry is restored at finite (with arbitrary ) against instability of fermion vacuum. An electromagnetic duality is pointed out as well. Phase diagrams are obtained in both cases.
