for a given diagram in some interacting theory that needs a momentum cutoff
shouldn't the same momentum cutoff be used for diagrams that don't need a momentum cutoff for convergence
for example, phi3 theory has a self energy diagram that diverges, so if one imposed a momentum cutoff there, shouldn't there also be one for the tree level diagram for consistency?
Shouldn't it also be imposed on the free part of the lagrangian too?
