Influence of Fermion Velocity Renormalization on Dynamical Mass Generation in QED3
Abstract
We study dynamical fermion mass generation in (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with a gauge field coupling to massless Dirac fermions and non-relativistic scalar bosons. We calculate the fermion velocity renormalization and then examine its influence on dynamical mass generation by using the Dyson-Schwinger equation. It is found that dynamical mass generation takes place even after including the scalar bosons as long as the bosonic compressibility parameter is sufficiently small. In addition, the fermion velocity renormalization enhances the dynamically generated mass.
