The self-energy of the uniform electron gas in the second order of exchange

The on-shell self-energy of the homogeneous electron gas in second order of exchange, $\Sigma_{2{\rm x}}= {\rm Re} \Sigma_{2{\rm x}}(k_{\rm F},k_{\rm F}^2/2)$, is given by a certain integral. This integral is treated here in a similar way as Onsager, Mittag, and Stephen [Ann. Physik (Leipzig) {\bf 18}, 71 (1966)] have obtained their famous analytical expression $e_{2{\rm x}}={1/6}\ln 2- 3\frac{\zeta(3)}{(2\pi)^2}$ (in atomic units) for the correlation energy in second order of exchange. Here it is shown that the result for the corresponding on-shell self-energy is ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}_{2\mathrm{x}}=e_{2\mathrm{x}}$. The off-shell self-energy ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}_{2\mathrm{x}}(k,\omega )$ correctly yields $2e_{2{\rm x}}$(thepotentialcomponentof$e_{2{\rm x}}$) through the Galitskii-Migdal formula. The quantities $e_{2\mathrm{x}}$ and ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}_{2\mathrm{x}}$ appear in the high-density limit of the Hugenholtz-van Hove (Luttinger-Ward) theorem.
