Catalysis of Dynamical Flavor Symmetry Breaking by a Magnetic Field in 2+1 Dimensions.

چکیده
It is shown that in 2+1 dimensions, a constant magnetic field is a strong catalyst of dynamical flavor symmetry breaking, leading to generating a fermion dynamical mass even at the weakest attractive interaction between fermions. The effect is illustrated in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in a magnetic field. The low-energy effective action in this model is derived and the thermodynamic properties of the model are established. The relevance of this effect for planar condensed matter systems is pointed out.

Dynamical flavor symmetry breaking by a magnetic field in 2+1 dimensions.
It is shown that in 2 + 1 dimensions, a constant magnetic field is a strong catalyst of dynamical flavor symmetry breaking, leading to generating a fermion dynamical mass even at the weakest attractive interaction between fermions. The essence of this effect is that in a magnetic field, in 2 + 1 dimensions, the dynamics of fermion pairing is essentially one-dimensional. The effect is illustrate...

متن کاملMagnetic Catalysis of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QED at Finite Temperature
The catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking by a magnetic field in the massless weakcoupling phase of QED is studied. The dynamical mass of a fermion (energy gap in the fermion spectrum) is shown to depend essentially nonanalytically on the renormalized coupling constant α in a strong magnetic field. The temperature of the symmetry restoration is calculated analytically as Tc ≈ mdyn, where mdyn i...
