Abstract

We calculate radiative corrections to the Lamb shift of order α3(Zα)5m\alpha^3(Z\alpha)^5m and radiative corrections to hyperfine splitting of order α3(Zα)EF\alpha^3(Z\alpha)E_F generated by the diagrams with insertions of radiative photons and electron polarization loops in the graphs with two external photons. We also obtain the radiative-recoil correction to hyperfine splitting in muonium generated by the diagrams with the τ\tau polarization loop.
