Abstract

An exact representation of the causal QED fermion Green's function, in an arbritrary external electromagnetic field, derived by Fried, Gabellini and McKellar, and which naturally allows for non-perturbative approximations, is here used to calculate non-perturbative approximations to the Green's function in the simple case of a constant external field. Schwinger's famous exact result is obtained as the limit as the order of the approximation approaches infinity.
