The induced four- interaction is the tree-level diagram with two vertices joined by one internal propagator. The zero-dimensional propagator is , and the second-order expansion of the exponential supplies the factor . The resulting effective-action coefficient is therefore , exactly the value of found by the Gaussian integral.
