Generalized LKF transformations for $N$-point fermion correlators in QED

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-09-21 v1

Abstract

Within the worldline approach to quantum electrodynamics (QED), a change of the photon's covariant gauge parameter ξ\xi is investigated to analyse the non-perturbative gauge dependence of the configuration space fermion correlation functions, deriving a generalization of the Landau-Kalatnikov-Fradkin transformations (LKFt). These transformations reveal how the non-perturbative gauge dependence of position space amplitudes can be absorbed into a multiplicative exponential factor.
