Description
We have calculated the ground state wave functions for a systems of multicomponent interacting fermions. We show that it describes the state with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. In the limit of an infinitely strong interaction it turns into a phase with a finite density of chiral complexes. The number of particles constituting a complex depends on the number of fermion components. For example, in the case of two component electrons (spin) the condensate is built of four-particle complexes consisting of two "right" electrons and two "left" holes with the opposite spins.
