Chiral symmetry,the 1/N expansion and the SU(N) thirring model

In the two-dimensional SU(N) Thirring model, the 1/N expansion seems to predict spontaneous breaking of the continuous chiral symmetry. This is impossible in two-dimensions. Reasoning along the lines of Berezinski, Kosterlitz and Thouless for the two-dimensional XY model, we argue that, in fact, rather than showing long-range order, $\text{〈}\text{ψ}\text{ψ(x)}\text{ψ}\text{ψ(0)〉}$ vanishes in this model as |x|^?1/N at large |x|. The 1/N expansion is, in fact, a rather good guide to the properties of this model.
