The Quantum effective action contains the following diagrams. For , there are the tree inverse propagator, the one-loop tadpole at order , and at order the two-loop sunset and the two-loop tadpole with a tadpole insertion. For , there are the tree vertex and, at order , the three one-loop bubble diagrams in the , , and channels. Disconnected and one-particle-reducible graphs do not occur in the quantum effective action.
