We calculate the four-point function in \lambda\phi^4 theory by using Krein regularization and compare our result, which is finite, with the usual result in \lambda\phi^4 theory. The effective coupling constant (\lambda_\mu) is also…
Non-commutative Euclidean scalar field theory is shown to have an eigenvalue sector which is dominated by a well-defined eigenvalue density, and can be described by a matrix model. This is established using regularizations of R^{2n}_\theta…
According to recent results, the Gell-Mann - Low function \beta(g) of four-dimensional \phi^4 theory is non-alternating and has a linear asymptotics at infinity. According to the Bogoliubov and Shirkov classification, it means possibility…
The quadratically divergent scalar mass is subtractively renormalized unlike other divergences which are multiplicatively renormalized. We re-examine some technical aspects of the subtractive renormalization, in particular, the mass…
We derive the Gell-Mann and Low renormalization group equation in the Wilsonian approach to renormalization of massless $g\phi^4$ in four dimensions, as a particular case of a non-linear equation satisfied at any scale by the Wilsonian…
Conventional quantization of covariant scalar field models $\phi^4_n$, for spacetime dimensions $n\ge5$ are trivial, and this may also be true for $n=4$ as well. However, an alternative ${\cal O}(\hbar)$ counterterm leads to nontrivial…
The noncommutative selfdual \phi^3 model in 6 dimensions is quantized and essentially solved, by mapping it to the Kontsevich model. The model is shown to be renormalizable and asymptotically free, and solvable genus by genus. It requires…
Various formulations of the exact renormalization group can be compared in the perturbative domain, in which we have reliable expressions for regularization-independent (universal) quantities. We consider the renormalization of the…

We renormalize various scalar field theories with a $\phi^n$ self interaction such as $n$ $=$ $5$, $7$ and $9$ in their respective critical dimensions which are non-integer. The renormalization group functions for the $O(N)$ symmetric…
We construct here the parametric representation of a translation-invariant renormalizable scalar model on the noncommutative Moyal space of even dimension $D$. This representation of the Feynman amplitudes is based on some integral form of…
We consider a symmetric scalar theory with quartic coupling in 4-dimensions. We show that the 4 loop 2PI calculation can be done using a renormalization group method. The calculation involves one bare coupling constant which is introduced…
A practical method is suggested for performing renormalized 2PI resummation at finite temperature using specific momentum dependent renormalization schemes. In this method there is no need to solve Bethe-Salpeter equations for 2PI…
The theoretical concepts for the renormalization of self-consistent Dyson resummations, deviced in the first paper of this series, are applied to first example cases for the $\phi^4$-theory. Besides the tadpole (Hartree) approximation as a…
An ill-defined integral equation for modeling the mass-spectrum of mesons is regulated with an additional but unphysical parameter. This parameter dependance is removed by renormalization. Illustrative graphical examples are given.
The effective potential $V$ is considered in massless $\lambda\phi^4_4$ theory. The expansion of $V$ in powers of the coupling $\lambda$ and of the logarithm of the background field $\phi$ is reorganized in two ways; first as a series in…

We show that renormalized non-commutative scalar field theories do not reduce to their planar sector in the limit of large non-commutativity. This follows from the fact that the RG equation of the Wilson-Polchinski type which describes the…
The study of nonlinear phenomena in systems with many degrees of freedom often relies on complex numerical simulations. In trying to model realistic situations, these systems may be coupled to an external environment which drives their…
It has been proposed that the noncommutative geometry of the "fuzzy" 2-sphere provides a nonperturbative regularization of scalar field theories. This generalizes to compact Kaehler manifolds where simple field theories are regularized by…
