Semi-Analytical Solution of the $ϕ^4$ Theory on an $F_4$ Lattice

Abstract

Investigating the cutoff dependence of the Higgs mass triviality bound, the $ϕ^4$ theory is formulated on an $F_4$ lattice which preserves Lorentz invariance to a higher degree than the commonly used hypercubic lattice. I solve this model non-perturbatively by evaluating the high temperature expansion through 13th order following the approach of Lüscher and Weisz. The results are continued across the transition line into the broken phase by integrating the perturbative RG equations. In the broken phase, the renormalized coupling never exceeds 2/3 of the tree level unitarity bound when $Λ/m_R \geq 2$. The results confirm recent Monte Carlo data and I obtain as an upper bound for the Higgs mass $m_R/f_π\leq 2.46 \pm 0.02_{\rm HTE} \pm 0.08_{\rm PT}$ at $Λ/m_R=2$.
