Quantization of Non-Polynomial Field Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

We re-examine the quantization of a class of non-polynomial scalar field theories which interpolates continuously from a free one to ϕ4\phi^4 theory. The quantization of such theories is problematic because the Feynman rules may not be directly obtained. We give a means for calculating the correlation functions in this theory. The Feynman rules developed here shall enable further progress in the understanding of the triviality of ϕ4\phi^4 theory in four dimensions.
