The scalar has canonical dimension , so
The coupling is therefore marginal in . Its leading two-point correction is the order- diagram with one six-leg vertex, two external legs, and the remaining four legs paired into two tadpole loops. This diagram is independent of external momentum, so it renormalizes the mass but has no pole and does not contribute to .
