We study the standard one-component $varphi^4$-theory in four dimensions. A renormalized coupling is defined in a finite size renormalization scheme which becomes the standard scheme of the broken phase for large volumes. Numerical simulations are reported using the worm algorithm in the limit of infinite bare coupling. The cutoff dependence of the renormalized coupling closely follows the perturbative Callan Symanzik equation and the triviality scenario is hence further supported.

We define a finite size renormalization scheme for $phi^4$ theory which in the thermodynamic limit reduces to the standard scheme used in the broken phase. We use it to re-investigate the question of triviality for the four dimensional infinite bare coupling (Ising) limit. The relevant observables all rely on two-point functions and are very suitable for a precise estimation with the worm algorithm. This contribution updates an earlier publication by analysing a much larger dataset.
Worm methods to simulate the Ising model in the Aizenman random current representation including a low noise estimator for the connected four point function are extended to allow for antiperiodic boundary conditions. In this setup several finite size renormalization schemes are formulated and studied with regard to the triviality of phi^4 theory in four dimensions. With antiperiodicity eliminating the zero momentum Fourier mode a closer agreement with perturbation theory is found compared to the periodic torus.
We test an alternative proposal by Bruno and Hansen [1] to extract the scattering length from lattice simulations in a finite volume. For this, we use a scalar $phi^4$ theory with two mass nondegenerate particles and explore various strategies to implement this new method. We find that the results are comparable to those obtained from the Luscher method, with somewhat smaller statistical uncertainties at larger volumes.
Numerical stochastic perturbation theory is a powerful tool for estimating high-order perturbative expansions in lattice field theory. The standard algorithms based on the Langevin equation, however, suffer from several limitations which in practice restrict the potential of this technique. In this work we investigate some alternative methods which could in principle improve on the standard approach. In particular, we present a study of the recently proposed Instantaneous Stochastic Perturbation Theory, as well as a formulation of numerical stochastic perturbation theory based on Generalized Hybrid Molecular Dynamics algorithms. The viability of these methods is investigated in $varphi^4$ theory.
We compute numerically the effective potential for the $(lambda Phi^4)_4$ theory on the lattice. Three different methods were used to determine the critical bare mass for the chosen bare coupling value. Two different methods for obtaining the effective potential were used as a control on the results. We compare our numerical results with three theoretical descriptions. Our lattice data are in quite good agreement with the ``Triviality and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking picture.
