For interaction , split into slow and fast Fourier modes, with a centered fast Gaussian measure. The first cumulant expansion term is by Wick theorem. The constant shifts the free energy, the quadratic term gives , and there is no gradient correction at this order. Rescaling gives and . The mass shift mixes thermal and quartic perturbations; the interacting critical tuning need not have zero bare mass.
