Description
We analyze the effect of a Chern-Simons term in the dynamical generation of masses for fermions in (2+1)-dimensional QED in the large-flavor (N) limit. When a Chern-Simons term is present, both the magnitude and the critical flavor number for the parity-even (four-component) mass are reduced
