According to Mankowski flat space dimensions We can write, $$L= \int \text{dt} \text d^d{x} \left[ \frac{1}{2} \dot\phi^2 - \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial r} \right)^2 -V(\phi)\right] \tag{1}$$ Where V$V$ can be written as $$V = \frac{1}{8} \phi^2 (\phi-2)^2$$

But the author wrote in his article in the equation (1) including dimensions. $$V= \frac{1}{2} m^2 \phi^2+ \frac{\lambda_3}{3!}m^\frac{5-d}{2} \phi^3+ \frac{\lambda_4}{4!}m^{3-d} \phi^4$$

My question sis how the dimensions incorporated with the potential?

Dimensions in lagrangian potential

According to Mankowski flat space dimensions We can write, $$L= \int \text{dt} \text d^d{x} \left[ \frac{1}{2} \dot\phi^2 - \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial r} \right)^2 -V(\phi)\right] \tag{1}$$ Where V can be written as $$V = \frac{1}{8} \phi^2 (\phi-2)^2$$
