Abstract
The importance of a rigorous definition of the singular degree of a distribution is demonstrated on the case of two-dimensional QED (Schwinger model). Correct mathematical treatment of second order vacuum polarization in the perturbative approach is crucial in order to obtain the Schwinger mass of the photon by resummation.
