Inverse Hessian relation for a connected two-point function ($\int dz{\Gamma }^{(2)}(x,z)G(z,y)=\delta (x-y)$)

In the scalar-field source Legendre transform, differentiating $h=\delta \Gamma /\delta m$ with respect to the source and using $G=\delta m/\delta h$ yields this inverse-kernel relation. For a scalar quartic Landau-Ginzburg theory, ${\Gamma }_{\mathrm{L}}^{(2)}=-{\nabla }^2+r_0+u_0{m}^2/2$, so the connected response is the Green kernel of that operator. A one-momentum representation requires a translationally invariant background.
