The propagator carries a real-species label rather than a charge-flow arrow:Differentiating the interaction with respect to its four external real fields gives the compact tensor ruleThus four legs or four legs give , while two of each give . Vertices with an odd number of either species vanish. For example, , whereas . These factors already account for assignments at one vertex; graph symmetry factors must still be included separately. Momentum conservation and loop measures are the same as in part a.
