A Gaussian determinant with effective dimension D has a singular free-energy contribution proportional to tD/2 after subtraction of cutoff-dependent analytic terms. When D/2 is a positive integer, a logarithm replaces the pure power. Differentiating the determinant sufficiently often gives a marginal momentum integral proportional to logt. For the anisotropic kernel q∥2​+q⊥4​+t, D=(d+1)/2, so logarithms occur at d=3,7,11,…. These qualify simple homogeneous-power formulas rather than changing the nominal scaling dimensions.
