Put for the Dirac propagator, and for a translation-invariant dimensional regularization of the loop momentum integral. The two oriented scattering amplitudes are
The common minus sign is the closed fermion loop sign. There is no additional symmetry factor for either labelled orientation. Each expression is a trace over spinor indices; all external photon propagators are amputated. If , the common factor is , so, for example, .
