Chiral Symmetry in Supersymmetric Three Dimensional Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract

We describe the investigation of spontaneous mass-generation and chiral symmetry breaking in supersymmetric QED3 using numerical solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equation together with the CJT effective action and supersymmetric Ward identities. We find that, within the quenched, bare vertex approximation, the chirally symmetric solution is favored. Show more
