Gauge fields and superconductivity in three-dimensional spacetime
The analogy between the BCS theory of superconductivity and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD is reviewed and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is introduced as a paradigm for both these phenomena. In Part I, the properties of quantum electrodynamics in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime (QED<SUB>3</SUB&...
