With interaction and , the two-point tadpole diagram has symmetry factor . The Euclidean massive loop integral gives its pole through . The three four-point bubble diagrams each have symmetry factor , and the massive scalar bubble pole in four dimensions gives the quartic counterterm. The tadpole is independent of external momentum, so no one-loop wave-function renormalization is required. A vacuum-energy counterterm is additionally needed if vacuum diagrams are retained.
With interaction , the tadpole diagram has symmetry factor one half. After Wick rotation and a rotationally invariant Euclidean cutoff, its self-energy is . The sphere area and radial integral give the displayed shift. It is independent of external momentum, so no one-loop momentum-dependent wave-function renormalization arises from this graph. Different regulator schemes can treat power divergences differently while defining the same chosen pole mass.
