We consider $\phi^4$ theory with $\phi(x)\in\mathbb{R}$ in two Euclidean dimensions. We determine for a variety of self-couplings $\hat{\lambda}$ the (negative) critical bare mass $\hat{\mu}_{0\mathrm{c}}^2(\hat{\lambda})$ where the…

The spontaneous symmetry breaking in (1+1)-dimensional $\phi^{4}$ theory is studied with discretized light-front quantization, that is, by solving the zero-mode constraint equation. The symmetric ordering is assumed for the operator-valued…
We study the $3$-component $\phi^4$ model on the simple cubic lattice in presence of a cubic perturbation. To this end, we perform Monte Carlo simulations in conjunction with a finite size scaling analysis of the data. The analysis of the…
We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in phi^4_(1+1) using the light-front formulation of the field theory. Since the physical vacuum is always the same as the perturbative vacuum in light-front field theory the fields must develop a…
General arguments related to ``triviality'' predict that, in the broken phase of $(\lambda\Phi^4)_4$ theory, the condensate $<\Phi>$ re-scales by a factor $Z_{\phi}$ different from the conventional wavefunction-renormalization factor,…
Recent lattice simulations of $(\lambda \Phi^4)_4$ theories in the broken phase show that : a) the shifted field propagator is well reproduced by the simple 2-parameter form ${{Z_{\rm prop}}\over{p^2 + M^2_h}}$ at finite momenta but…
The spontaneous symmetry breaking at zero temperature in the four-component four-dimensional scalar $\lambda \phi^4_4$ model (the O(4) model) is investigated on a lattice for different values of the coupling constant $\lambda$. A general…
The spontaneous symmetry breaking in noncommutative $\lambda\Phi^4$ theory has been analyzed by using the formalism of the effective action for composite operators in the Hartree-Fock approximation. It turns out that there is no phase…
Using the example of compact U(1) lattice gauge theory we argue that quantum link models can be used to reproduce the physics of conventional Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories. In addition to the usual gauge coupling $g$, these models have…
We analyze the critical line of $\lambda\phi^4_4$ perturbatively in the bare coupling $\lambda_0$, by setting the daisy-improved renormalized mass to zero. By comparing to lattice data, we can then quantify the relation between the…
Perturbation theory of a large class of scalar field theories in $d<4$ can be shown to be Borel resummable using arguments based on Lefschetz thimbles. As an example we study in detail the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory in two dimensions in the…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs when the underlying laws of a physical system are symmetric, but the vacuum state chosen by the system is not. The (3+1)d $\phi^4$ theory is relatively simple compared to other more complex theories,…
We reexamine the range of validity of finite-size scaling in the $\phi^4$ lattice model and the $\phi^4$ field theory below four dimensions. We show that general renormalization-group arguments based on the renormalizability of the $\phi^4$…
We study the noncommutative $\phi^4$ theory with spontaneously broken global O(2) symmetry in 4 dimensions. We demonstrate the renormalizability at one loop. This does not require any choice of ordering of the fields in the interaction…
We present a critical reappraisal of the available results on the broken phase of $\lambda(\Phi^4)_4$ theory, as obtained from rigorous formal analyses and from lattice calculations. All the existing evidence is compatible with Spontaneous…
Triviality of $\phi^4$ theory in four dimensions can be avoided if the bare coupling constant is negative in the UV. Theories with negative coupling can be put on the lattice if the integration domain for $\phi(x)$ is contour-deformed from…
