"Naturalness" of the 't Hooft-Veltman-Breitenlohner-Maison (HVBM) scheme in Dimensional Regularization
Disclaimer: This question is fairly subjective based on what one considers a natural construction. With that in mind, let's continue.
I'm trying to understand more complicated examples of dimensional ...

Renormalization Scheme on Peskin and Schroeder Page 409
On page 409 of P&S book, they are basically considering the subtraction scheme of the scalar field propagator in Yukawa theory, see the figure below.
Write explictly, it is:
$$
\frac{4ig^2}{(4\pi)...

Where does the $\pi^2$ term come from in this Feynman diagram?
I am looking at this paper on anomalous magnetic moment. Trying to go through the calculations. The first graph 1a on p. 1070 seems to be the "easiest" as it requires no renormalization and ...

Help with doing a Feynman 1-loop integral related to $\langle T_{++}\rangle$ in string theory
The goal is to compute the 1-loop integral, which is given equal to:
$$\int{\frac{d^2l}{2\pi}\frac{l_{+}(l_++q_+)}{l^2(l+q)^2}}=-\frac{1}{4}\frac{q_+}{q_{-}}.\tag{3.31}$$
The above integral represents ...

How to compute this integral in dimensional regularisation?
I'm trying to compute the following position space integral as a function of $d$, which should be finite for $2<d<4$:
$$ I=\int \frac{d^d y \, d^d z}{ \left( |x-y| \,|y_\perp|\,|y-z|\,|z_\perp|\,...
