Abstract

The critical exponent corresponding to the renormalization of the composite operator ψˉψ\bar{\psi}\psi is computed in quantum electrodynamics at O(1/\Nf2)O(1/\Nf^2) in arbitrary dimensions and covariant gauge at the non-trivial zero of the β\beta-function in the large \Nf\Nf expansion and the exponent corresponding to the anomalous dimension of the electron mass which is a gauge independent object is deduced. Expanding in powers of ϵ\epsilon == 22 - d/2d/2 we check it is consistent with the known three loop perturbative structure and determine the subsequent coefficients in the coupling constant
