Abstract

We consider the Schwinger model with two degenerate, light fermion flavors by means of lattice simulations. At finite temperature, we probe the viability of a bosonization method by Hosotani {\it et al.} Next we explore an analogue to the pion decay constant, which agrees for independent formulations based on the Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner relation, the 2-dimensional Witten--Veneziano formula and the $\delta$-regime. Finally we confront several conjectures about the chiral condensate with lattice results.
