Description

We carry out a numerical study of dynamical generation of fermion masses by solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion propagator in three-dimensional quenched Quantum Electrodynamics (QED3) in various gauges. We employ an ansatz for the three-point vertex which satisfies the Ward-Green-Takahashi identity, namely, the Ball-Chiu Vertex. We discuss the advantages of our numerical method over some earlier ones
