We work with a low energy effective theory obtained from a tight-binding Hamiltonian expanded around the Dirac points in momentum space. We use a non-perturbative Schwinger-Dyson approach and calculate a coupled set of five momentum dependent dressing functions. Our results show that the critical coupling depends only weakly on the anisotropy parameter, and increases with greater anisotropy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-08T17:59:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phase transitions", "momentum dependent dressing functions", "low energy effective theory", "greater anisotropy", "dynamical gap generation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
