On a mean field approximation for Higgs-Yukawa systems
Abstract
We discuss the phase structure of a lattice Higgs-Yukawa system in the variational mean field approximation with contributions of fermionic determinant being calculated in a ladder approximation. In particular, we demonstrate that in this approximation the ferrimagnetic phase in the Z2 model with naive fermions can appear as an artifact of a finite lattice and that the phase diagram for this model on infinite lattice changes qualitatively at space-time dimension D = 4 compared with those at D > 4.
