The totally ionized charged collisionless plasma at finite temperature is considered. Using the statistical and Schwinger field methods we derive the production of photons from the plasma by the Cerenkov mechanism. We derive the spectral formula of emitted photons by the plasma fluctuations. The calculation can be extended to the photon propagator involving radiative corrections.

We consider various ways of treating the infrared divergence which appears in the dynamically generated fermion mass, when the transverse part of the photon propagator in N flavour QED 3 at finite temperature is included in the Matsubara formalism. This divergence is likely to be an artifact of taking into account only the leading order term in the [Formula: see text] expansion when we calculate the photon propagator and is handled here phenomenologically by means of an infrared cutoff. Inserting both the longitudinal and the transverse part of the photon propagator in the Schwinger–Dyson equation, we find the dependence of the dynamically generated fermion mass on the temperature and the cutoff parameters. It turns out that consistency with certain statistical physics arguments imposes conditions on the cutoff parameters. For parameters in the allowed range of values we find that the ratio r=2* Mass (T=0)/critical temperature is approximately 6, consistent with previous calculations which neglected the transverse photon contribution.
