/ Abstract
We investigate a model with a massless fermion and a massive scalar field with the Yukawa interaction between these two fields. The model possess a discrete symmetry. The chiral condensate is calculated in one-loop approximation in $(1+1)$-dimensional spacetime. It was shown that the chiral condensate vanishes at two different values of the coupling constant. At the first of them there is a phase transition in which the discrete symmetry is restored. At the second zero of the chiral condensate it takes place a phase transition which distinguishes the positive $μ^2$ from the negative $μ^2$, where $μ^2$ is an effective mass of the scalar field.
