Abstract
The one-loop vacuum polarization in the presence of a background magne
tic field is computed in (2 + 1)-dimensional electrodynamics in which
the spinor mass is parity violating. The quantum-mechanical path-integ
ral technique is used to compute matrix elements arising in the contex
t operator regularization.
