The Auger transition rate derived by means of Green's functions is formulated in terms of exchange of energy and wave vector of the corresponding transitions. Hereby the transition probabilities are modified by dynamical corrections. This treatment allows to calculate the Auger coefficient in lead chalcogenides with sufficient accuracy. As a consequence Auger recombination in PbSe has to be considered.
