Abstract

We consider Quantum Electrodynamics in 2+12{+}1 dimensions with NfN_f fermionic or bosonic flavors, allowing for interactions that respect the global symmetry U(Nf/2)2U(N_f/2)^2. There are four bosonic and four fermionic fixed points, which we analyze using the large NfN_f expansion. We systematically compute, at order O(1/Nf)O(1/N_f), the scaling dimensions of quadratic and quartic mesonic operators. We also consider Quantum Electrodynamics with minimal supersymmetry. In this case the large NfN_f scaling dimensions, extrapolated at Nf=2N_f{=}2, agree quite well with the scaling dimensions of a dual supersymmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model. This provides a quantitative check of the conjectured duality.
