Abstract
We investigate the critical behavior of the gauged NJL model (QED plus four-fermion interaction) and the gauged Yukawa model by the use of the inversion method. By calculating the gauge-invariant chiral condensate in the inversion method to the lowest order, we derive the critical line which separates the spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking phase from the chiral symmetric one. The critical exponent for the chiral order parameter associated with the second order chiral phase transition is shown to take the mean field value together with possible logarithmic correction to the mean-field prediction. All the above results are gauge-parameter independent and are compared with the previous results obtained from the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion propagator.
