Gauge-invariant variational study of the Hamiltonian U(1) and Z$_{N}$ model and critical space-time dimensionality

Using a gauge-invariant variational formalism the author finds in D=4 dimensions a first-order phase transition for Z/sub 2,3,4/ and two second ones for Z/sub N/ with N>or=5. At D=3.2 the transitions of Z /sub 2/ and Z/sub 4/ become of second order, whereas that of Z/sub 3/ for D>or=3 remains...
