Diagrammatic expansion of an operator insertion in path integral for Trace Anomaly calculation

\begin{equation} \Theta^\mu_{\ \mu }=0 \end{equation} In the context of the trace anomaly it is usual to treat the insertion of the trace of the energy-momentum tensor perturbatively to find out it it … I'm reading chapter 19 of Peskin and this questions arose in section 19.5 and, specifically, on figure 19.10 On that chapter he's dealing with a trace of the form \begin{equation} \Theta^\mu_{\ \mu …
