Abstract
We derive the spectral representations of QED 3-point functions and
then explicitly calculate the 3-point spectral densities in hard
thermal loop approximation within the real time formalism. The Ward
identities obeyed by the retarded and advanced 2- and 3-point
functions are discussed. We compare our results with those for hot
QCD.
