Abstract
The methods of coherent states and of structure functions in QED are considered in detail for a precise evaluation of the radiative effects at LEP/SLC. They are explicitly shown to give identical results for the exponentiated infrared factors and the O(±) terms corresponding to the initial and final state radiation. Furthermore interference effetcs from initial and final state radiation are introduced within the formalism of structure functions in a way which is suitable for Monte Carlo applications. The final formulae improve to 0(0.1%) the evaluation of the e.m. effects.
