Abstract

In this paper, we present results of numerical lattice simulations of two-flavor QED in three space-time dimensions. First, we provide evidence that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the chiral and continuum limit. Next we discuss the role of an external magnetic field B on the dynamically generated fermion mass. We investigate the B dependence of the condensate through calculations with dynamical fermions using the noncompact formulation of the gauge field, and compare the results with those of a comparable study using the quenched approximation.
