Abstract

We discuss the gauge parameter dependence of particle spectra in statistical quantum electrodynamics and conclude that the electron spectrum is gauge-parameter dependent. The physical spectrum being obtained in the Landau gauge, which leads to gauge invariance in a restricted class of gauge transformations.
