Title: Thermodynamics of (2+1)-dimensional four-fermion models

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The thermodynamics of the (2+1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu model is analyzed. The model is not renormalizable in the weak-coupling expansion but becomes renormalizable in the 1//ital N//sub /ital f// expansion. We calculate the critical temperature and find the phase structure. The critical exponents ..cap alpha.., ..cap alpha..', ..beta.., ..gamma.., ..gamma..', delta, /eta/, ..nu.., and ..nu..' are calculated to leading order in 1//ital N//sub /ital f//, and do not satisfy the ''scaling relations.''
