K. Ishikawa et al., CURVATURE INDUCED DYNAMICAL SYMMETRY RESTORATION IN EINSTEIN UNIVERSE(R-CIRCLE-TIMES-S-D-1), Modern physics letters A, 11(11), 1996, pp. 939-948
As a prototype of composite Higgs models four-fermion interaction mode
ls with N-component fermion are investigated in Einstein universe keep
ing spacetime dimensions for 2 less than or equal to D < 4. It is foun
d that the effective potential for composite operator <(psi)over bar p
si> is calculable in the leading order of the 1/N expansion. The resul
ting effective potential is analyzed by varying the curvature of space
time and is found to exhibit the symmetry restoration through the seco
nd-order phase transition. The critical curvature at which the dynamic
al fermion mass disappears is analytically calculated.
