Abstract
The vacuum polarization and photon mass within Schwinger's model for two-dimensional electrodynamics are obtained from a finite surface term associated with the difference between variable-shifted linearly divergent integrals. Consistency is demonstrated between this approach and dimensional regularization. Ambiguity in the application of dimensional reduction is also discussed.Keywords
