Abstract
We evaluate the vacuum polarization tensor for three-dimensional quant um electrodynamics (QED3) via Heisenberg equations of motion in order to clarify the problem arising from the use of different regularizatio n prescriptions in the interaction picture. We conclude that the photo n does acquire physical mass of topological origin when such contribut ion is taken into account for the photon propagator.
