A second-order phase transition for the three-dimensional Gross-Neveu model is established for one fermion species, N=1. This transition breaks a paritylike discrete symmetry. It constitutes its peculiar universality class with critical exponent ν=0.63 and scalar and fermionic anomalous dimensions ησ=0.31 and ηψ=0.11, respectively. We also compute critical exponents for other N. Our results are based on exact renormalization-group equations.
