2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/96561I review three different non-perturbative approaches to the three dimensional Thirring model: the 1/N_f expansion, Schwinger-Dyson equations, and Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation results are presented to support the existence of a non-perturbative fixed point at a chiral symmetry breaking phase transition for N_f=2 and 4, but not for N_f=6. Spectrum calculations for $N_f=2$ reveal conventional level ordering near the transition.7 pages LaTeX with 4 figures.
