E. Elizalde et al., CHIRAL-SYMMETRY BREAKING IN THE D = 3 NAMBU-JONA-LASINIO MODEL IN CURVED SPACE-TIME, Modern physics letters A, 9(10), 1994, pp. 913-918
The phase structure of the d = 3 Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in curved sp
ace-time is considered to leading order in the 1/N-expansion and in th
e linear curvature approximation. The possibility of a curvature-induc
ed first order phase transition is investigated numerically. The dynam
ically generated fermionic mass is calculated for some values of the c
urvature.
