Composite Operator Effective Potential Approach to QED$_3$

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-18 v1

Abstract

The composite operator effective potential is compared with the conventional Dyson-Schwinger method as a calculational tool for (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics. It is found that when the fermion propagator ansatz is put directly into the effective potential, it reproduces exactly the usual gap equations derived in the Dyson-Schwinger approach.
