dc.descriptionA four-fermion model in 2+1 dimensions describing N Dirac fermions interacting via SU(N) invariant N^2-1 four-fermion interactions is solved in the leading order of the 1/N expansion. The 1/N expansion corresponds to 't Hoofts topological 1/N expansion in which planar Feynman diagrams prevail. For the symmetric phase of this model, it is argued that the planar expansion corresponds to the ladder approximation. A truncated set of Schwinger-Dyson equations for the fermion propagator and composite boson propagator representing the relevant planar diagrams is solved analytically. The critical four-fermion coupling and various critical exponents are determined as functions of N. The universality class of this model turns out to be quite distinct from the Gross-Neveu model in the large N limit.
