One-loop renormalization and the properties of radiative corrections in the Fried-Yennie gauge

One-loop radiative corrections in the Fried-Yennie gauge are investigated. It is shown that the usual on-mass-shell subtraction may be performed in this gauge without use of the infrared photon mass. The behaviour of the diagrams with corrections near the mass-shell is explored, this behaviour turns out to be in the Freid-Yennie gauge milder than in any other gauge and milder than the behaviour of the corresponding graphs without radiative corrections
