The component interactions include the Yukawa vertexand the quartic scalar vertex , with cubic scalar interactions fixed by the same and . At one loop, the scalar propagator has a bosonic tadpole from the quartic vertex and a closed fermion loop with two Yukawa vertices. The loop's fermionic minus sign makes their quadratic cutoff dependence equal and opposite; diagrams involving the dimensionful cubic scalar vertex are at most logarithmically divergent. This is the supersymmetric cancellation of quadratic divergences, and it relies on the coupling relations imposed by supersymmetry.
