Description
We show that at one loop the magnetic mass vanishes at finite temperature in QED in any dimension. In three-dimensional QED, even the zero temperature part can be regularized to zero. We calculate the two-loop contributions to the magnetic mass in three-dimensional QED with a Chern-Simons term and show that it vanishes. We give a simple proof which shows that the magnetic mass vanishes to all orders at finite temperature in this theory. This proof also holds for QED in any dimension
