Abstract

A hard three-loop correction to parapositronium energy levels of order mα7m\alpha^7 is calculated. This nonlogarithmic contribution is due to the insertions of one-loop photon propagator in the fermion lines in the diagrams with virtual two-photon annihilation. We obtained ΔE=0.03297(2)(mα7/π3)\Delta E=0.03297(2)(m\alpha^7/\pi^3) for this energy shift.
