Abstract: We investigate the critical behaviour of the N-component Euclidean lambdaphi4 model at leading order in frac1N-expansion. We consider it in three situations: confined between two parallel planes a distance L apart from one another, confined to an infinitely long cylinder having a square cross-section of area A and to a cubic box of volume V. Taking the mass term in the form m02=alpha(T−T0), we retrieve Ginzburg-Landau models which are supposed to describe samples of a material undergoing a phase transition, respectively in the form of a film, a wire and of a grain, whose bulk transition temperature (T0) is known. We obtain equations for the critical temperature as functions of L (film), A (wire), V (grain) and of T0, and determine the limiting sizes sustaining the transition.
