We investigate the SU(2N) symmetry effects with 2N > 2 on the two-dimensional interacting Dirac fermions at finite temperatures, including the valence-bond-solid transition, the Pomeranchuk effect, the compressibility, and the uniform spin susceptibility, by performing the determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the half-filled SU(2N) Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. The columnar valence-bond-solid (cVBS) phase only breaks the threefold discrete symmetry and thus can survive at finite temperatures. The disordered phase in the weak coupling regime is the thermal Dirac semi-metal state, while in the strong coupling regime it is largely a Mott state in which the cVBS order is thermally melted. The calculated entropy-temperature relations for various values of the Hubbard interaction U show that the Pomeranchuk effect occurs when the specific entropy is below a characteristic value of S*-the maximal entropy per particle from the spin channel of local moments. The SU(2N) symmetry enhances the Pomeranchuk effect, which facilitates the interaction-induced adiabatic cooling. Our work sheds light on future explorations of novel states of matter with ultracold large-spin alkaline fermions.
