Under spatial reflection, ${\varphi }^{\prime }(t,\mathbf{x})={\gamma }_p\varphi (t,-\mathbf{x})$, soBecause ${\gamma }_p^2=1$, the Lorentz scalar ${\partial }_{\mu }\varphi {\partial }^{\mu }\varphi$ and the mass term $m^2{\varphi }^2$ are unchanged after evaluating at the reflected point. The spatial change of variables $\mathbf{x}\mapsto -\mathbf{x}$ has unit absolute Jacobian, so the action of the free real scalar field is invariant.

The first two terms are the kinetic term and mass term of a real scalar field; together they determine the free quantum field theory propagator. The term $-\lambda {\varphi }^4/4!$ is its quartic field interaction term. The remaining three terms are counterterms: ${\delta }_Z$ renormalizes the field normalization, ${\delta }_m$ renormalizes the mass, and ${\delta }_{\lambda }$ renormalizes the quartic coupling. Their regulator dependence cancels the ultraviolet divergences of loop diagrams, while their finite parts implement the chosen renormalization conditions.
