Theory of the Magnetic Catalysis of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QED
The theory of the magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking in QED is
developed. An approximation for the Schwinger-Dyson equations describing
reliably this phenomenon is established, i.e., it is shown that there exists a
consistent truncation of those equations in this problem. The equations are
solved both analytically and numerically, and the dynamical mass of fermions is
determined.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figures, REVTe
