Part I", "authors": [ "Adnan Aboulalaa" ], "categories": [ "math.PR", "math-ph", "math.MP" ], "abstract": "The issue of the existence and possible triviality of the Euclidean quantum scalar field in dimension 4 is investigated by using some large deviations techniques. As usual, the field $\\phi_{d}^{4}$ is obtained as a limit of regularized fields $\\phi_{d, k}^{4}$ associated with a probability measures $\\mu_{k,V}$, where $k, V$ represent an ultraviolet and volume cutoffs. The result obtained is the following alternative: (1) either the renormalized field $\\phi_{4}^{4}$ is the trivial free field, or (2) the almost sure limit of the density of $\\mu_{k,V}$, with respect to the Gaussian free field measure, exists and is equal to $0$. This implies, in the second case, that $\\mu_{k,V}$ can not have a strong limit as $k \\longrightarrow \\infty$. These assertions are valid in finite volume. They also hold for vector fields and can be extended to polynomial Lagrangians.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-20T06:35:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G60", "60F10", "60K35", "81T08", "81T16" ], "keywords": [ "quantum field theory", "random fields", "triviality", "euclidean quantum scalar field", "gaussian free field measure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
