Eliminating nonrenormalizability helps prove scaled affine quantization of φ44 is nontrivial

Abstract

Following a modest comparison between canonical and affine quantization, which points to positive features in the affine procedures. We prove through Monte Carlo analysis that the covariant Euclidean scalar field theory, [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the power of the interaction term and [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the spatial dimension and 1 adds imaginary time, such that [Formula: see text] can be acceptably quantized using scaled affine quantization and the resulting theory is nontrivial, unlike what happens using canonical quantization.
