Abstract

The properties of two-flavored massless Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model in (1+1)-dimensional R1 × S1 space–time with compactified space coordinate are investigated in the presence of isospin and quark number chemical potentials μI, μ. The consideration is performed in the large Nc limit, where Nc is the number of colored quarks. It is shown that at L = ∞ (L is the length of the circumference S1) the charged pion condensation (PC) phase with zero quark number density is realized at arbitrary nonzero μI and for rather small values of μ. However, at arbitrary finite values of L the phase portrait of the model contains the charged PC phase with nonzero quark number density (in the case of periodic boundary conditions for quark fields). Hence, finite sizes of the system can serve as a factor promoting the appearance of the charged PC phase in quark matter with nonzero baryon densities. In contrast, the phase with chiral symmetry breaking may exist only at rather large values of L.
