Conformality and self-duality of Nf = 2 QED3

We study the IR phase of three dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED3) coupled to Nf=2 flavors of two-component Dirac fermions, which has been controversial for decades. This theory has been proposed to be self-dual with symmetry enhancement (SU(2)f×U(1)t)/Z2→O(4) at the IR fixed point. We focus...
