QED in d=3 from the epsilon-expansion.

<!--HTML-->In my talk, based on the recent work 1508.06278, I will consider the Renormalization Group flow of Quantum Electrodynamics in d=3 coupled to N_f flavors of fermions. For N_f smaller than a critical value N_f^c, chiral symmetry breaking is believed to take place. For N_f > N_f^c,...

description <!--HTML-->In my talk, based on the recent work 1508.06278, I will consider the Renormalization Group flow of Quantum Electrodynamics in d=3 coupled to N_f flavors of fermions. For N_f smaller than a critical value N_f^c, chiral symmetry breaking is believed to take place. For N_f > N_f^c, the theory flows to an interacting fixed point that can be studied in the epsilon-expansion, using the fixed point in d=4-2\epsilon. I will discuss the computation of the anomalous dimensions of fermion bilinears and quadrilinear operators, as well as some more conceptual aspects concerning the enhancement of global symmetries in d=3. For small N_f, a quadrilinear operator can become relevant in the IR and destabilize the fixed point. Therefore, the epsilon-expansion can be used to estimate N_f^c.
