Using a nonperturbative approach based on the Cornwall–Jackiw–Tomboulis (CJT) effective action [Formula: see text] for composite operators, the phase structure of the simplest massless [Formula: see text]-dimensional Gross–Neveu model is investigated. We have calculated [Formula: see text] in the first-order of the bare coupling constant [Formula: see text] and have shown that there exist three different specific dependences of [Formula: see text] on the cutoff parameter [Formula: see text], and in each case, the effective action and its stationarity equations have been obtained. The solutions of these equations correspond to the fact that three different masses of fermions can arise dynamically and, respectively, three different nontrivial phases can be observed in the model.
