In spacetime dimensions, the dimensionless action gives and . The scalar kinetic term requires , whereas the fermion kinetic term requires . Thus the engineering dimensions of relativistic fields areMatching each interaction to mass dimension three givesHere the brackets mean exponents of mass in natural units. The coefficients are marginal couplings by classical power counting, and is a relevant coupling.
