Mixed scalar derivative cubic vertex

ID: mixed-scalar-derivative-cubic-vertex

For two real scalar fields with the displayed field interaction term, Fourier factors make each derivative contribute . The two identical differentiated field slots cancel , giving the Feynman vertex when are the incoming four-momenta of the two legs. With incoming four-momentum , this is also . This identity is valid off shell; substituting squared masses for internal squared four-momenta is generally invalid.
