Abstract: (APS)
In an attempt to avoid triviality for relativistic quantum ϕn4 theories for space-time dimensions n≥5, and possibly n=4 as well, an additional, nonclassical, nonpolynomial, local potential is included, along with standard factors in a lattice-regularized formulation of the model. It is argued that if the additional term redistributes the field probability in the manner characteristic of a generalized Poisson distribution, then a nontrivial quantization may be achieved, one which also passes to the correct nontrivial classical theory in the appropriate limit.
