We present a comprehensive discussion of the consistency of the effective quantum field theory of a single $Z_2$ symmetric scalar field. The theory is constructed from a bare Euclidean action which at a scale much greater than the…
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…

We analyze the divergent part of the one-loop effective action for the noncommutative SU(2) gauge theory coupled to the fermions in the fundamental representation. We show that the divergencies in the 2-point and the 3-point functions in…
The quantum action for a three-dimensional real sextic model using the background field method is considered. Four-loop renormalization of this model is performed with a cutoff regularization in the coordinate representation. The…
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…
The desirability of evaluating the effective potential in field theories near a phase transition has been recognized in a number of different areas. We show that recent Monte Carlo simulations for the probability distribution for the order…
At present, the gauge coupling $\beta$-function in the Standard Model (SM) is known up to four-loop order. As most SM calculations, dimensional regularization was employed. Despite its striking success, other regularization schemes have…
