A triangle Feynman diagram has a loop of three propagators joining three vertices. In six-dimensional cubic scalar field theory it gives a one-loop three-point proper vertex. Attaching a cubic tree vertex makes a four-point connected diagram, but the connecting propagator is a bridge, so the latter is a one-particle-reducible Feynman diagram.
In mostly-minus signature, take . Feynman parameters and a momentum shift give
For massive internal lines this is ultraviolet finite in four dimensions. Physical external kinematics can still create threshold cuts, encoded by the Feynman i-epsilon prescription.
