We present the results of numerical simulations of a (2+1)-dimensional fermion field theory based on a recent proposal for a model of graphene consisting of N-f four-component Dirac fermions moving in the plane and interacting via an instantaneous Coulomb interaction. In the strong-coupling limit we identify a critical number of flavors N-fc=4.8(2) separating an insulating from a conducting phase. This transition corresponds to the location of a quantum critical point, and we use a fit to the equation of state for the chiral order parameter to estimate the critical exponents. Next we simulate N-f=2 corresponding to real graphene and approximately locate a transition from strong- to weak-coupling behavior. Strong correlations are evident in the weak-coupling regime.
