Abstract: (APS)
In the massive chiral Gross-Neveu model, a phase boundary separates a homogeneous from an inhomogeneous phase. It consists of two parts, a second order line and a first order line, joined at a tricritical point. Whereas the first order phase boundary requires a full, numerical Hartree-Fock calculation, the second order phase boundary can be determined exactly and with less effort by a perturbative stability analysis. We extend this stability analysis to higher order perturbation theory. This enables us to locate the tricritical point exactly, without need to perform a Hartree-Fock calculation. Divergencies due to the emergence of spectral gaps in a spatially periodic perturbation are handled using well established tools from many body theory.Note:
