Magnetic catalysis in the $1$-flavor Gross-Neveu model in $2+1$ dimensions

Abstract

We investigate the Gross-Neveu model in $2+1$ dimensions in a constant and homogeneous magnetic field using one reducible flavor of overlap fermions. Our lattice simulations suggest that the magnetic catalysis phenomenon, i.e., an increase of the chiral condensate with the magnetic field, is present for all temperatures below the chiral phase transition, in accordance with predictions from mean-field and beyond-mean-field calculations.
