Abstract
We investigate the conjecture that monopoles in noncompact lattice QED condense, and that this phase transition is responsible for the break ing of chiral symmetry. The comparison of analytic and numerical resul ts shows that we have a quantitative understanding of monopoles in bot h the quenched and dynamical cases. We see no evidence of monopole con densation.
