Abstract

We show that, at one loop, the magnetic mass vanishes at finite temperature in QED in any dimension. In QED3_{3}, even the zero temperature part can be regularized to zero. We calculate the two loop contributions to the magnetic mass in QED3_{3} with a Chern-Simons term and show that it vanishes. We give a simple proof which shows that the magnetic mass vanishes to all orders at finite temperature in this theory. This proof also holds for QED in any dimension.
