Write . Allow a general bare coefficient temporarily, so the starting equation is . Substitute and apply the product and chain rules:Multiplying by identifiesThus the renormalization-group beta function transforms by the chain rule under a coupling reparametrization, while the field coefficient also records the scale dependence of the finite or divergent field normalization. For the actual bare parametrization here, substitute and .
