Tadpole contribution to a cubic-theory two-point function
ID: tadpole-contribution-to-a-cubic-theory-two-point-function
Use and with . In an unshifted vacuum, the one-loop mean field has pole . Attaching it to a cubic vertex gives the connected but one-particle-reducible two-point insertion . It supplements the proper bubble unless a tadpole subtraction sets the renormalized mean field to zero. A disconnected product of two one-point functions is a separate two-loop term and is not a propagator insertion.
