Abstract

The short survey of computation and properties of effective Lagrange function of intensive field in two-loop approximation accounting for radiative interaction of virtual electrons is given. The renormalization of field, charge and mass is completely defined by the weak field behaviour of the exact Lagrange function: its real part must be Maxwellian and imaginary part must be quasiclassical exp(πm2c3/eϵ)\propto \exp (-\pi m^2c^3/\hbar e\epsilon). For weak electric field radiative interaction manifests itself as electron mass shift. Using the renorminvariance at strong field and exponentiation at weak field it is possible to obtain information about contributions of high order in α\alpha.
