Abstract
The role of the bound electron Green function in the recent high precision determination of the electron mass is discussed. Emphasis is placed on the connection to Schwinger’s use of such Green functions in his early work establishing the modern form of QED, his calculation of leading binding corrections, and his work on synchrotron radiation.
