Abstract

Based on the truncated Dyson-Schwinger equation for the fermion propagator, the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential near the critical point is investigated. We show that, at zero temperature, the system undergoes a continuous phase transition into the chiral symmetric phase at a critical number of fermion flavors, while undergoing a second-order phase transition at high temperature.
