It is commonly asserted that the electromagnetic current is conserved and therefore is not renormalized. Within QED we show (a) that this statement is false, (b) how to obtain the renormalization of the current to all orders of perturbation theory, and (c) how to correctly define an electron number operator. The current mixes with the four-divergence of the electromagnetic field-strength tensor. The true electron number operator is the integral of the time component of the electron number density, but only when the current differs from the MSbar-renormalized current by a definite finite renormalization. This happens in such a way that Gauss's law holds: the charge operator is the surface integral of the electric field at infinity. The theorem extends naturally to any gauge theory.

The Fate of Ultra-Collinear Modes in On-Shell Massive Sudakov Form Factors
Ultra-collinear modes cancel to all orders in on-shell massive Sudakov form factors by gauge invariance, preserving SCET_II factorization, with explicit two-loop soft and jet functions computed via eta regulator and N...

Comparing QCD+QED via full simulation versus the RM123 method: U-spin window contribution to $a_\mu^{\mathrm{HVP}}$
At fixed lattice spacing and volume with unphysical quark masses, direct QCD+QED simulation and the RM123 perturbative expansion give consistent U-spin window contributions to a_mu^HVP, with the direct simulation abou...
