I have some questions about this paper:http://users.phys.psu.edu/~radu/extra_strings/freedman_sigma_model.pdf
In section 3, they renormalize the bosonic non-linear \sigma model at one loop level.
The action is given by
<br /> I_B[\phi]=\frac{1}{2}\int d^2xg_{ij}(\phi^k)\partial_\mu\phi^i\partial_\mu\phi^j.<br />
Perturbation \phi=\varphi+r of this action in Riemann normal coordinate is written by
<br /> \begin{align}<br /> I_B^{(2)}[\varphi+r]=I_B[\varphi]+\int d^2xg_{ij}\partial_\mu\varphi^iD_\mu\xi^j+\frac{1}{2}\int d^2x\left[g_{ij}D_\mu\xi^iD^\mu \xi^j+R_{ik_1k_2j}\xi^{k_1}\xi^{k_2}\partial_\mu\varphi^i\partial^\mu \partial^j\varphi\right].<br /> \end{align}<br />
The second term vanishes by using equation of motion. Then calculate the functional
<br /> \Omega_B[\phi]=\langle0|\exp i\int d^2xL_{\text{int}}(\phi,\xi)|0\rangle<br />
where
<br /> \int d^2xL_{\text{int}}(\phi,\xi)\equiv I_B^{(2)}[\phi,\xi^a]-\frac{1}{4}\int d^2x\partial_\mu\xi^a\partial_\mu\xi^a.<br />
According to this paper, the diagrams are like FIG2 and divergent one-loop diagrams are only these three types.
Why diagrams can be drawn like FIG2? I don't know how to treat the external field \phi.
Why divergent diagrams are the three types?
The definition of L_\text{int} is correct? I think it should be \int d^2xL_{\text{int}}(\phi,\xi)\equiv I_B^{(2)}[\phi,\xi^a]-\frac{1}{2}\int d^2x\partial_\mu\xi^a\partial_\mu\xi^a
