Proper scalar-QED seagull-vertex diagrams

ID: proper-scalar-qed-seagull-vertex-diagrams

With zero quartic coupling, a proper one-loop vertex with two scalar and two labelled photon legs has two boxes, five triangles and two bubbles. A directed scalar chain connects the charged external ends; the internal photon joins its endpoints. Cubic vertices have one photon slot, seagulls two. All nine graphs have Feynman-diagram symmetry factor one with external labels fixed. At zero external momentum a transverse internal photon kills any graph with a cubic endpoint, leaving only the two seagull bubbles.
