Section Definition and 733 Threads

Beginning of page 303 of Schawrtz's QFT text (section 16.1.1), there's a part on the renormalization of the scalar propagator in ##\phi^3## theory to second order in ##g## the bare coupling. He writes (quote begins): $$M(Q)=M^0 (Q)+M^1 (Q)=\frac{g^2}{Q^2}(1-\frac{1}{32 \pi^2}...
