Two-loop fermion self-energy in reduced quantum electrodynamics and application to the ultra-relativistic limit of graphene
read the original abstract
We compute the two-loop fermion self-energy in massless reduced quantum electrodynamics for an arbitrary gauge using the method of integration by parts. Focusing on the limit where the photon field is four-dimensional, our formula involves only recursively one-loop integrals and can therefore be evaluated exactly. From this formula, we deduce the anomalous scaling dimension of the fermion field as well as the renormalized fermion propagator up to two loops. The results are then applied to the ultra-relativistic limit of graphene and compared with similar results obtained for four-dimensional and three-dimensional quantum electrodynamics.

Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin Transformations in Reduced Quantum Electrodynamics: Perturbative and Nonperturbative Dynamics of the Fermion Propagator
LKF transformations give all-order gauge-transformed fermion propagators in RQED, with ξ=1/3 eliminating one-loop leading logs and numerical checks confirming gauge-invariant condensate and pole mass.
