Quebra dinâmica da simetria quiral na pseudo eletrodinâmica quântica em (2 + 1) dimensões

Abstract

In the present work, we study the chiral symmetry breaking in pseudo quantum electrodynamics in (2+1) dimensions using the Schwinger-Dyson equation formalism and investigate the similarities of this model with the criticality in both QED3 and QED4. Using the rainbow-quenched approximation we show that there is a critical coupling αcc = π/16 above which there is a mass generation for fermions and hence the chiral symmetry breaking occurs. We also study the N massless fermions flavors version using the 1/N expansion in rainbow-unquenched approximation and we obtain a critical value for the number of active fermions below which there is chiral symmetry breaking. We show that at strong gauge coupling constant (g -- ∞) this critical number is the same as in QED3 in large N expansion.
