摘要
Gauge invariance is discussed in the causal approach to QED. It is proven that the iterative construction of the S-matrix by the method of Epstein and Glaser can be carried out in such a way that perturbative gauge invariance holds true. The proof rests on a careful analysis of the process of distribution splitting. In case of nontrivial distribution splitting gauge invariance implies the Ward-Takahashi identities. © 1990 Società Italiana di Fisica.
