dc.descriptionWe discuss the chiral symmetry restoration at high temperature and chemical potential for a four-fermion interaction theory in arbitrary dimensions ($2\leq D<4$). To investigate the ground state of the theory we calculate the effective potential and the gap equation using the method of the $1/N$ expansion. We study the phase structure at finite temperature and chemical potential and show critical curves which divide the symmetric and asymmetric phase. We find that the first and second order phase transition coexist for $2\leq D \leq 3$ depending on the value of the temperature and chemical potential. On the other hand only the second order phase transition is realized for $3<D<4$. We also present the critical behavior of the dynamically generated fermion mass.
