Abstract

Perturbation series for the electron propagator in the Schwinger Model is summed up in a direct way by adding contributions coming from individual Feynman diagrams. The calculation, performed entirely in momentum space, shows the complete agreement between nonperturbative and perturbative approaches.

  38. It is worthy noting that the iteration equation (4.7) of [36] is a kind of Dyson-Schwinger equation which follows from the very construction of the diagram on Fig. 4, where 2n-th vertex is fixed. It is also reflected by the presence of p + on the left hand side of (4.8). This gives in fact the expansion of the derivative of S (in coordinate space), as also seen in (4.10), whereas our equation (15) gives the expansion of S itself. Of course both approaches are equivalent.
