Abstract
Assuming high temperature and taking subleading temperature dependence into account, the gauge dependence of one-loop electron dispersion relation is investigated in massless quantum electrodynamics (QED) at zero chemical potential. The analysis is carried out using a general linear covariant gauge. The equation governing the gauge dependence of the dispersion relation is obtained and used to prove that the dispersion relation is gauge independent in the limiting case of momenta much larger than $\mathrm{eT}.$ It is also shown that the effective mass is not influenced by the leading temperature dependence of the gauge dependent part of the effective self-energy. As a result, the effective mass, which is of order $eT,$ does not receive a correction of order ${e}^{2}T$ from one-loop, independent of the gauge parameter.
