Abstract:
In three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics(QED3) with a massivegauge boson, we investigate the coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations forthe fermion and photon propagators in the rainbow approximation, andobtain the critical gauge boson mass for various numbers of the fermionflavors. A comparison with the previous results is presented.
