Description

The spontaneous generation of a parity-even mass for fermions in three dimensions is analyzed by using effective Lagrangians and the renormalization group. To leading order in ε, an expansion about 4-ε dimensions predicts the spontaneous generation of mass for two or more flavors of four-component fermions
