摘要
The chiral-symmetry order parameter and the monopole density m are calculated for lattice QED in 2+1 dimensions for zero and two fermion flavors. A comparison of the results for the compact and the noncompact lattice action yields a strong correlation between and m being essentially independent of the type of lattice action. This is interpreted as evidence that monopole condensation drives chiral-symmetry breaking in three-dimensional lattice QED. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
