Abstract
Three-dimensional lattice QCD is studied by Monte Carlo simulations within the quenched approximation. At zero temperature a quark-antiquark condensate is observed in the limit of vanishing quark masses. The condensate vanishes continuously at the finite-temperature deconfinement phase transition of the theory. A natural interpretation of this phenomenon in the full theory with dynamical quarks is in terms of the spontaneous flavor symmetry breaking U(Nf) U(Nf/2)× U(Nf/2). In addition, the spectrum of low-lying Dirac operator eigenvalues is computed and found to be consistent with a flat distribution at zero temperature, in agreement with analytical predictions.
