Description
Based on the choice of a special gauge, in which a useful form of scaling invariance holds, a new method is suggested for the analytic, nonperturbative calculation of the n-point functions of QED. A modified functional analysis is employed in configuration space, where the dressed electron and photon propagators (in quenched approximation) are each found to be simple products of the relevant free propagator with an appropriate function of configuration space variables containing all powers of the square of the coupling constant.
