One-loop massive phi-fourth counterterms

ID: one-loop-massive-phi-fourth-counterterms

With interaction and , the two-point tadpole diagram has symmetry factor . The Euclidean massive loop integral gives its pole through . The three four-point bubble diagrams each have symmetry factor , and the massive scalar bubble pole in four dimensions gives the quartic counterterm. The tadpole is independent of external momentum, so no one-loop wave-function renormalization is required. A vacuum-energy counterterm is additionally needed if vacuum diagrams are retained.
