The one-component $\lambda\phi^4$ theory in four dimensions in the spontaneously broken symmetry phase has a non-trivial, non-perturbative sector which can be studied by means of a duality transformation of its Ising limit. Duality maps…
We study the spectrum of massive excitations of the three-dimensional phi^4 and Ising models, in the broken-symmetry phase. Using a variational method, we show that the spectrum contains all the 0+ states that one expects from duality with…
We discuss the spectrum of the three dimensional phi^4 theory in the broken symmetry phase. In this phase the effective potential between the elementary quanta of the model is attractive and bound states of two or more of them may exist. We…
We show that the spectrum of the three dimensional phi^4 theory in the broken symmetry phase contains non-perturbative states. We determine the spectrum using a new variational technique based on the introduction of operators corresponding…
We derive the spectrum in the broken phase of a $\lambda\phi^4$ theory, in the limit $\lambda\to\infty$, showing that this goes as even integers of a renormalized mass in agreement with recent lattice computations.
Traditionally, scalar $\phi^4$ theory in four dimensions is thought to be quantum trivial in the continuum. This tradition is apparently well grounded both in physics arguments and mathematical proofs. Digging into the proofs one finds that…
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…
Finite volume multiple-particle interaction is studied in a two-dimensional complex $\phi^4$ lattice model. The existence of analytical solutions to the $\phi^4$ model in two-dimensional space and time makes it a perfect model for the…
We present a numerical study of the \lambda \phi^{4} model in three Euclidean dimensions, where the two spatial coordinates are non-commutative (NC). We first show the explicit phase diagram of this model on a lattice. The ordered regime…
The low-energy spectrum of a one-component, spontaneously broken \Phi^4 theory is generally believed to have the same simple massive form \sqrt{{\bf p}^2 + m^2_h} as in the symmetric phase where < \Phi >=0. However, in lattice simulations…
A lattice simulation in the broken phase of four-dimensional (lambda Phi^4) theory in the Ising limit suggests that, in the continuum limit, the scalar condensate rescales by a factor different from the conventional wavefunction…
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…
We investigate the phase transition of the four-dimensional single-component $\phi^4$ theory on the lattice using the tensor renormalization group method. We have examined the hopping parameter dependence of the bond energy and the vacuum…
We study numerically the three-dimensional $\phi^{4}$ spin glass, a prototypical disordered and discretized Euclidean field theory that manifests inhomogeneities in space and time but considers a homogeneous squared mass and lambda terms.…
We present a non-perturbative study of the \lambda \phi^{4} model in a three dimensional Euclidean space, where the two spatial coordinates are non-commutative. Our results are obtained from numerical simulations of the lattice model, after…
A redesigned starting point for covariant \phi^4_n, n\ge 4, models is suggested that takes the form of an alternative lattice action and which may have the virtue of leading to a nontrivial quantum field theory in the continuum limit. The…
According to a proposal of Luescher it is possible to determine elastic scattering phases in infinite volume from the energy spectrum of two-particle states in a periodic box. We demonstrate the applicability of this method in the broken…
We review and elaborate on some aspects of the classically scale-invariant renormalizable 4-derivative scalar theory $L= \phi\, \partial^4 \phi + g (\partial \phi)^4$. Similar models appear, e.g., in the context of conformal supergravity or…
We present a non-perturbative study of the lambda phi**4 model on a non-commutative plane. The lattice regularised form can be mapped onto a Hermitian matrix model, which enables Monte Carlo simulations. Numerical data reveal the phase…
We show that a recent analysis in the strong coupling limit of the $\lambda\phi^4$ theory proves that this theory is indeed trivial giving in this limit the expansion of a free quantum field theory. We can get in this way the propagator…
