Abstract
We investigate the zero temperature chiral phase transition in (2+1)-dimensional QED in the presence of a Chern-Simons term, changing the number of fermion flavors. In the symmetric phase, there are no light degrees of freedom even at the critical point. Unlike the case without a Chern-Simons term, the phase transition is first-order.
