Abstract

We consider hard three-loop nonlogarithmic corrections of order mα7m\alpha^7 to hyperfine splitting in positronium. All these contributions are generated by the graphs with photon and/or electron loop radiative insertions in the two-photon exchange diagrams. We calculate contributions of six gauge invariant sets of diagrams. The total result for all these diagrams is ΔE=1.2917(1)mα7/π3=5.672\Delta E=-1.2917(1)m\alpha^7/\pi^3=-5.672 kHz.
