Abstract: (APS)
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DχSB) is studied within (2+1)-dimensional QED with N four-component fermions. The leading and next-to-leading orders of the 1/N expansion are computed exactly. The analysis is carried out in an arbitrary nonlocal gauge. Resumming the wave-function renormalization constant at the level of the gap equation yields a strong suppression of the gauge dependence of the critical fermion flavor number, Nc(ξ), where ξ is the gauge-fixing parameter, which is such that DχSB takes place for NNote:
