I tried to calculate one of the problems in the textbook Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics by Ta-Pei Cheng and Ling-Fong Li.
On page 248 you can find the following calculation of a loop integral:
After the scond = is there a γ⋅k missing? ...ˉue(p−q)(1+γ5)γ⋅ku(p)... instead of ...ˉue(p−q)(1+γ5)u(p)... Because the mass dimension do not match. Am I right or did I make a bad mistake? I think they neglect terms with me here, which would be OK.
With ci=g2e4U∗eiUμi and γ⋅puμ(p)=mμuμ(p).
Answer
It seems to be an error (due the the units mismatch).
You should doublecheck the errata page and perhaps contact the publishers.

The errata is for the 1997 edition. It doesn't seem to mention this page.
