Abstract

After the success of affine quantization in proving through Monte Carlo analysis that the covariant euclidean scalar field theory, φnr\varphi^r_n, where rr denotes the power of the interaction term and n=s+1n = s + 1 with ss the spatial dimension and 11 adds imaginary time, such that r2n/(n2)r \geq 2n/(n-2) can be acceptably quantized and the resulting theory is nontrivial, unlike what happens using canonical quantization, we show here that the same has to be expected for r>2r>2 and any nn even for the ultralocal field theory. In particular we consider the ultralocal φ24\varphi^4_2 model and study its renormalized properties for both the scaled canonical quantization version and the scaled affine quantization version through path integral Monte Carlo.
