For canonically normalized fields with action , use signature and incoming Fourier modes . The ghost-gluon vertex is and the ghost propagator is . The open ghost-line one-particle-irreducible two-point vertex at one loop is , where
A counterterm inserts and cancels this pole. Equivalently, writing gives . There is no closed ghost-loop sign for this open-line graph. The Feynman i-epsilon prescription, Fourier convention and antighost sign must be kept consistent throughout.
