Abstract

The ϕ4\phi^4 field model is generalized to the case when the field ϕ(x)\phi(x) is defined on a Lie group: S[ϕ]=xGL[ϕ(x)]dμ(x)S[\phi]=\int_{x\in G} L[\phi(x)] d\mu(x), dμ(x)d\mu(x) is the left-invariant measure on a locally compact group GG. For the particular case of the affine group G:x=ax+b,aR+,x,bRnG:x'=ax+b,a\in\R_+, x,b \in \R^n t he Feynman perturbation expansion for the Green functions is shown to have no ultra-violet divergences for certain choice of λ(a)aν\lambda(a) \sim a^\nu.
