The leading contributions to

δ_{2}

and

δ_{m}

come from the one-loop electron self-energy: one internal electron line and one internal photon line join two electron-photon vertices. Its coefficients of

γ^{μ} p_{μ}

and

m

determine the field-strength and mass counterterms. The leading contribution to

δ_{1}

comes from the one-loop electron-photon vertex correction, with two internal electron propagators and one internal photon propagator, together with the corresponding local counterterm vertices. The Ward identity gives

δ_{1} = δ_{2}

in a gauge-invariant scheme.

Solution

d = 4 - ϵ

and choose Feynman gauge. Combining the electron and photon denominators with a Feynman parameter, shifting the loop momentum, and discarding the odd term leaves the numerator

(2 - d) (1 - x) γ^{μ} p_{μ} + d m .

The pole of the rotationally symmetric integral consequently gives

Σ_{pole} (p) = \frac{e ^{2}}{8 π ^{2} ϵ} \int_{0}^{1} d x [- 2 (1 - x) γ^{μ} p_{μ} + 4 m] = \frac{e ^{2}}{8 π ^{2} ϵ} (- γ^{μ} p_{μ} + 4 m) .

With the inverse-propagator convention

S^{- 1} (p) = γ^{μ} p_{μ} - m + δ_{2} γ^{μ} p_{μ} - δ_{m} - Σ (p),

Σ_{pole}

. Hence

δ_{2} = - \frac{e ^{2}}{8 π ^{2} ϵ}, δ_{m} = - \frac{m e ^{2}}{2 π ^{2} ϵ} .
