The first correction to the four-point coupling containing is of order : two cubic vertices are joined by one fast internal propagator, leaving four slow external legs. The three exchange channels pair the external legs in the , , and ways. In a sharp momentum-shell scheme this contribution is retained when the exchanged momentum lies in the eliminated shell; its derivative expansion supplies the induced local quartic interaction.
