Abstract

Dynamical fermion mass generation is studied in the three-dimensional Thirring model reformulated as a gauge theory by introducing hidden local symmetry. The analysis by use of Schwinger-Dyson equation is shown to exhibit a critical behavior as the number N of four-component fermions approaches N_{\rm cr}=128/3π².
