Quantization of Non-Polynomial Field Theories

Abstract

We re-examine the quantization of a class of non-polynomial scalar field theories which interpolates continuously from a free one to $\phi^4$ theory. The quantization of such theories is problematic because the Feynman rules may not be directly obtained. We give a means for calculating the correlation functions in this theory. The Feynman rules developed here shall enable further progress in the understanding of the triviality of $\phi^4$ theory in four dimensions.
