Abstract
We evaluate the one-loop fermion
self-energy for the gauged Thirring model in (2+1) dimensions,
with one massive fermion flavor. We do this in the framework
of the causal
perturbation theory. In contrast to QED3, the corresponding
two-point function turns out to be infrared finite on the mass
shell. Then, by means of a Ward identity, we derive the on-shell
vertex correction and discuss the role played by causality for
non-renormalizable theories.
