A nonperturbative approach to the vacuum polarization for quantized fermionsin external vector potentials is discussed. It is shown that by a suitablechoice of counterterms the vacuum polarization phase is both gauge andrenormalization independent, within a large class of nonperturbativerenormalizations.Comment: AmsTex file, 10 output pages, no figures. (Can be run with plain Tex, the file will call for the macros amstex.tex and amsppt.sty.
