The Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz and the 1/N Correction to the Density Phase Transition in the Gross-Neveu Model

We compute the $1/N$ correction to the location of the previously found first-order phase transition in the Gross-Neveu model at a chemical potential $μ= μ_c = {1 \over \sqrt{2}} m$, where $m$ is the fermion mass. We employ an expression for the free energy $f(μ)$ given by the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz under the approximation that the fundamental fermions dominate the ground state, and combine it with the effective potential evaluated at zero chemical potential. Our result is $μ_c = {m \over \sqrt{2}} [1 - {0.47 \over N}]$.
