Use two external slow-field legs and internal fast-mode propagators. Through the requested orders, the connected mass-correction topologies are:
  • order : one quartic vertex with one fast tadpole;
  • order : two quartic vertices joined either by three fast lines, or by two fast lines with a fast tadpole on the vertex carrying no external legs;
  • order : one sextic vertex with two fast tadpole loops;
  • order : a sextic and a quartic vertex joined by two fast lines, with the remaining fast legs closed into tadpoles in the two possible external-leg placements; joined by four fast lines with two external legs on the sextic vertex; or joined by three fast lines with one sextic tadpole and one external leg on each vertex.
A nominal one-line bridge at order vanishes in a sharp momentum-shell scheme at small external momentum because that line would have to carry momentum outside the fast shell. These descriptions specify the same diagrams without depending on a particular drawing convention for vertices and external legs.
Write
and, for the three-line topology,
and define the four-line integral
with every propagator momentum restricted to the fast shell.
The first cumulant contains
Since the quadratic free energy is , this gives
The mixed term in the second cumulant is
Wick contraction with the printed normalization and gives, at zero external momentum,
The coefficients respectively combine the two placements of both external legs in the two-line topology, the three-line topology with one external leg on each vertex, and the four-line topology. Couplings normalized as and absorb the corresponding factorials, which is why formulas in that convention have much smaller numerical coefficients.
