The large N limit of the 3-d Gross-Neveu model is here studied on manifolds with positive and negative constant curvature. Using the $zeta$-function regularization we analyze the critical properties of this model on the spaces $S^2 times S^1$ and $H^2times S^1$. We evaluate the free energy density, the spontaneous magnetization and the correlation length at the ultraviolet fixed point. The limit $S^1to R$, which is interpreted as the zero temperature limit, is also studied.
