Influence of external magnetic field, finite-size effects and chemical potential on the phase transition of a complex scalar field
Abstract A scalar model is built, as a quantum field theory defined on a toroidal topology, to describe a phase transition in films subjected to periodic boundary conditions and influenced by an external and constant magnetic field. Criticality is studied and the relations between the critical tempe...
