Description
Numerical results for the chiral-symmetry-breaking phase transition in non-compact QED with a four-fermion interaction, obtained using staggered fermions and on 84 lattice, are compared with the solution of the gap equation for the pure four-fermion model on the same size lattice. Agreement between the two suggests that there is no evidence for non-mean-field critical behaviour in the numerical data. (orig.)
