Abstract
We examine the possibility of fermion mass generation in (2+1)-dimensional gauge theory from the current algebra point of view. In our approach the critical behavior is governed by the fluctuations of pions which are the Goldstone bosons for chiral symmetry breaking. Our analysis supports the existence of an upper critical NF and exhibits the explicit form of the gap equation as well as the form of the critical exponent for the inverse correlation length of the order parameter. © 1993 The American Physical Society.File in questo prodotto:
