Abstract

The Euclidean (\phi^{4})_{3,\epsilon model in R3R^3 corresponds to a perturbation by a ϕ4\phi^4 interaction of a Gaussian measure on scalar fields with a covariance depending on a real parameter ϵ\epsilon in the range 0ϵ10\le \epsilon \le 1. For ϵ=1\epsilon =1 one recovers the covariance of a massless scalar field in R3R^3. For ϵ=0\epsilon =0 ϕ4\phi^{4} is a marginal interaction. For 0ϵ<10\le \epsilon < 1 the covariance continues to be Osterwalder-Schrader and pointwise positive. After introducing cutoffs we prove that for ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, sufficiently small, there exists a non-gaussian fixed point (with one unstable direction) of the Renormalization Group iterations. These iterations converge to the fixed point on its stable (critical) manifold which is constructed.
