Scalar QED wave-function pole

ID: scalar-qed-wave-function-pole

In scalar electrodynamics with photon propagator and dimensional regularization , the minimal subtraction scheme gives . For an external four-momentum , expand the exchange numerator as . The logarithmic ultraviolet poles of the scalar, vector and tensor integrals give the coefficient . A massless photon tadpole integral does not change it. The scalar QED Ward identity gives the same vertex renormalization constant.
