Abstract

Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (D$\chi$SB) is studied within ($2+1$)-dimensional QED with $N$ four-component fermions. The leading and next-to-leading orders of the $N$ expansion were computed exactly in Refs.~[\onlinecite{Gusynin:2016som,Kotikov:2016prf}] in an arbitrary non-local gauge. In this addendum to [\onlinecite{Kotikov:2016prf}], we show that the resummation of the wave-function renormalization constant at the level of the gap equation yields a {\it complete} cancellation of the gauge dependence of the critical fermion flavour number resulting in: $N_c= 2.8469$, which is such that D$\chi$SB takes place for $N<br />Comment: (v2) 3+epsilon pages, published in PRD, 2 references added, no change in results (v1) 3 pages, no figure. addendum to arXiv:1609.06912
