In momentum space, the Feynman rules for the real scalar field areEach interaction vertex supplies , with all its momenta counted inward. Impose momentum conservation, integrate each independent loop momentum with , and divide by the Feynman-diagram symmetry factor. For a connected amputated scattering amplitude, remove the external scalar propagators and retain a single overall momentum conservation factor. These signs follow by expanding ; the factorials in the Lagrangian density cancel the corresponding attachments in the Wick theorem. The Feynman i-epsilon prescription specifies the scalar propagator poles.
