Massive zero-momentum QED vertex integral ($\alpha =(D-2{)}^2/D,\beta =2-D$)

For the QED proper Feynman vertex with both external four-momenta zero, a massive internal fermion and a massless internal photon in Feynman gauge, the even numerator reduces under Lorentz covariance to ${\gamma }^{\mu }[\alpha k^2+\beta m^2]$. The gamma matrices identity ${\gamma }^{\nu }{\gamma }^{\mu }{\gamma }_{\nu }=(2-D){\gamma }^{\mu }$ and the integrated replacement $k_{\rho }{k}_{\sigma }\mapsto g_{\rho \sigma }{k}^2/D$ prove the coefficients. The term $m^2/[k^2(k^2-m^2+i0{)}^2]$ has neither an infrared divergence nor an ultraviolet divergence for $m>0$; its integral in four dimensions is $-i/(16{\pi }^2)$. Only the remaining squared massive denominator supplies the ultraviolet pole.
