a
For massless phi-fourth theory in four dimensions, the momentum-space rules are
propagator: p2+iϵi​,quartic vertex: −iλ.
(1)
Writing
Lct​=21​δZ​(∂ϕ)2−21​δm2ϕ2−4!δλ​ϕ4,
(2)
the two-point counterterm insertion is i(δZ​p2−δm2) and the four-point counterterm is −iδλ.
The renormalized one-particle-irreducible correlation function Γ4​ through order λ2 contains the tree quartic vertex, the quartic counterterm, and three one-loop bubble diagrams. The bubbles are the s, t, and u channels and each has symmetry factor 1/2.
