quantum field theory - Geometric series for two-point function


In deriving the expression for the exact propagator


G(2)c(x1,x2)=[p2m2+Π(p)]1


for ϕ4 theory all books that i know use the following argument:



G(2)c(x1,x2)=G(2)0+G(2)0ΠG(2)0+G(2)0ΠG(2)0ΠG(2)0+...


wich is a geometric series so the formula for the exact propagator.Here


G(2)0


is the free propagator and


Π=X+Y+Z+...+W


is the sum of all irreducible diagrams.Here the irreducible diagrams is represented by X,Y,Z,...,W.


Using the path integral i can see, that connected diagrams D can be written in the form


D=G(2)0XG(2)0Z...G(2)0W


Question: But how to prove that there is no constant C so that instead we have


D=G(2)0XG(2)0Z...G(2)0W



we would have


D=CG(2)0XG(2)0Z...G(2)0W ?


In the last case we would not have a geometrical serie. Can someone explain me i t please or give me another way to derive it.
