摘要
We study the strong phase of QED with more than one flavor Nf>1, and spontaneously broken chiral symmetry, using an effective Lagrangian. The effective Lagrangian contains a massless e+e- bound state (the electropion) and the photon. This theory is shown to predict the existence of a fermionic soliton. We argue that this soliton must be the electron. The mass of the electron is calculated to be in the range 2.23F<m<3.33F, where e is the electron charge and F is the electropion decay constant. Since the mass is finite, we conclude that strongly coupled QED does not show confinement. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
