Mesons at finite baryon density in (2+1)d

open access: yes, 2003
We discuss the critical properies of the three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model at nonzero temperature and nonzero chemical potential. We also present numerical and analytical results for the in-medium interaction due to scalar meson exchange.
