Abstract

We calculate radiative corrections to the Lamb shift of order [Formula Presented] and radiative corrections to hyperfine splitting of order [Formula Presented] generated by the diagrams with insertions of radiative photons and electron polarization loops in the graphs with two external photons. We also obtain the radiative-recoil correction to hyperfine splitting in muonium generated by the diagrams with the [Formula Presented] polarization loop.
