Abstract

We first derive the transverse Ward-Takahashi identities (WTI) of 3-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED3_3) by means of the canonical quantization method and the path integration method, and then prove for the first time that QED3_3 is strictly solvable based on the transverse WTI and the longitudinal WTI, that is, the full vector and tensor vertices functions can be expressed in term of the fermion propagators in QED3_3. Further, we discuss the effect of different γ\gamma matrix representations on the full fermion-boson vertex function. It is found that the full vector vertex function does not depend on the different γ\gamma matrix representation we use, \textit{i.e.}, it does not depend on whether we use 4 ×\times 4 representation or 2 ×\times 2 representation. But the tensor vertex function depends on the representation we use.
