The authors' main claim Contrary to previous regularization schemes employed for nonlinear sigma models on a finite time interval (``quantum mechanical path integrals in curved space'') dimensional regularization requires only a covariant finite two-loop counterterm.

We extend dimensional regularization to the case of compact spaces. Contrary to previous regularization schemes employed for nonlinear sigma models on a finite time interval (``quantum mechanical path integrals in curved space'') dimensional regularization requires only a covariant finite two-loop counterterm. This counterterm is nonvanishing and given by R/8.

By dimensionally extending the cubic vertex [equation] the above integral becomes [equation] where $(t,t')=-β^-1⟨q(t) q(t')⟩$ and $_F(t,t') =β^-1⟨χ(t) χ̅(t')⟩$ (the bar indicates Majorana conjugation, see [ref] ) are the dimensionally regulated propagators where $∂ / _F =-_F ∂ / ' = δ^(d+1)(t,t')$, and $_A_B(t,t')=∂_A∂'_B (t,t')$.
