Non-perturbative λΦ4 in D = 1 + 1: An example of the constructive quantum field theory approach in a schematic way

During the '70, several relativistic quantum field theory models in D = 1 + 1 and also in D = 2 + 1 have been constructed in a non-perturbative way. That was done in the so-called constructive quantum field theory approach, whose main results have been obtained by a clever use of Euclidean func...
