Gap Equations and Effective Potentials at Finite Temperature and Chemical Potential in D—Dimensional Four—Fermion Models

摘要

We have proven the general relations between the gap equations obeyed by dynamical fermion mass and thecorresponding effective potentials at finite temperature and chemical potential in D-dimensional four-fermion interactionmodels. This gives an easy approach to get effective potentials directly from the gap equations. We find out explicitexpressions for the effective potentials at zero temperature in the cases of D = 2,3, and 4 for practical use.
