Abstract:
Dynamical symmetry breaking in three dimensional QED with N
flavors,
which has been mostly analyzed by solving the Schwinger-Dyson
equations,
is investigated by means of the approximated Wilson, or
non-perturbative, renormalization group (RG).
We study the RG flows of the gauge coupling and the general four-fermi
couplings allowed by the symmetry, concentrating our interest
on study of the phase structure.
The RG equations have no gauge parameter dependence in our
approximation scheme.
It is found that there exist chirally broken and unbroken phases
for N > N cr (3 < N cr < 4) and that the unbroken phase
disappears for N < N cr.
We also discuss spontaneous parity breaking in \QED with
four-fermi interactions.
