On chiral symmetry breaking by external magnetic fields in QED
arXiv:hep-th/9504020 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(95)00964-M
Abstract
A recent result of Gusynin, Miransky and Shovkovy concerning chiral symmetry breaking by a constant external magnetic field in parity-invariant three-dimensional QED is generalised to the case of inhomogeneous fields by relating the phenomenon to the zero modes of the Dirac equation. Virtual photon radiative corrections and four-dimensional QED are briefly discussed.
