Quartic complex-scalar mass renormalization

ID: quartic-complex-scalar-mass-renormalization

For in , the directed tadpole diagram has symmetry factor one. Its divergent Feynman contribution to is . A mass insertion therefore gives the displayed minimal subtraction scheme counterterm. Differentiating at fixed bare mass and coupling gives the displayed . The equivalent two-real-field formulation has vertex coefficients for a pure species and for two of each, giving total tadpole weight .
