Fund Project: The author thanks Jean-Christophe Merle for his hospitality during the author's visit to the University of Vechta, where the main part of the research reported here was carried out. The author also thanks the referee for many useful comments and suggestions.

We prove global well-posedness for the coupled Maxwell-Dirac-Thirring-Gross-Neveu equations in one space dimension, with data for the Dirac spinor in the critical space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. In particular, we recover earlier results of Candy and Huh for the Thirring and Gross-Neveu models, respectively, without the coupling to the electromagnetic field, but the function spaces we introduce allow for a greatly simplified proof. We also apply our method to prove local well-posedness in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ for a quadratic Dirac equation, improving an earlier result of Tesfahun and the author.

Keywords: Thirring, Gross-Neveu, Maxwell-Dirac, global well-posedness, null forms.
