摘要：Quantum electrodynamics in a (2+1)-dimensional space-time has been object of studies both
as effective theory for the pseudogap phase of high-Tc superconductors and for the theoretical
investigation of mechanisms of connement in presence of matter elds. We discretize the theory
using both compact and noncompact formulations, analyze the behavior of the chiral condensate
and of the monopole density and compare them. Finally we draw some conclusions about the
possible equivalence of the two lattice formulations.
