An inductive realization of Loop Vertex Expansion is proposed and is applied to the construction of the $\phi_1^4$ theory. It appears simpler and more natural than the standard one at least for some situations.
We have considered phi^4 theory in higher dimensions. Using functional diagrammatic approach, we computed the one-loop correction to effective potential of the scalar field in five dimensions. It is shown that phi^4 theory can be…
