In four spacetime dimensions , , and . HenceThe coupling is an irrelevant coupling by power counting in quantum field theory, so it is a nonrenormalizable interaction that would ordinarily define only an effective theory with a cutoff. Here it is also a redundant operator: integration by parts gives up to a boundary term, and the Dirac current is conserved. This derivative coupling to a conserved current is removed exactly by the local phase redefinition .
