Abstract
In this paper, we present results of numerical lattice simulations of two-flavor QED in three space-time dimensions. First, we provide evidence that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the chiral and continuum limit. Next we discuss the role of an external magnetic field on the dynamically generated fermion mass. We investigate the -dependence of the condensate through calculations with dynamical fermions using the non-compact formulation of the gauge field, and compare the results with those of a comparable study using the quenched approximation.
