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.

We present a precise lattice computation of the slope of the effective potential for massless $(lambdaPhi^4)_4$ theory in the region of bare parameters indicated by the Brahms analysis of lattice data. Our results confirm the existence on the lattice of a remarkable phase of $(lambdaPhi^4)_4$ where Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking is generated through ``dimensional transmutation. The resulting effective potential shows no evidence for residual self-interaction effects of the shifted `Higgs field $h(x)=Phi(x)-langlePhirangle$, as predicted by ``triviality, and cannot be reproduced in perturbation theory. Accordingly the mass of the Higgs particle, by itself, does not represent a measure of any observable interaction.
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.
The Constrained Effective Potential (CEP) is known to be equivalent to the usual Effective Potential (EP) in the infinite volume limit. We have carried out MonteCarlo calculations based on the two different definitions to get informations on finite size effects. We also compared these calculations with those based on an Improved CEP (ICEP) which takes into account the finite size of the lattice. It turns out that ICEP actually reduces the finite size effects which are more visible near the vanishing of the external source.
The quantum extension of classical finite elements, referred to as quantum finite elements ({bf QFE})~cite{Brower:2018szu,Brower:2016vsl}, is applied to the radial quantization of 3d $phi^4$ theory on a simplicial lattice for the $mathbb R times mathbb S^2$ manifold. Explicit counter terms to cancel the one- and two-loop ultraviolet defects are implemented to reach the quantum continuum theory. Using the Brower-Tamayo~cite{Brower:1989mt} cluster Monte Carlo algorithm, numerical results support the QFE ansatz that the critical conformal field theory (CFT) is reached in the continuum with the full isometries of $mathbb R times mathbb S^2$ restored. The Ricci curvature term, while technically irrelevant in the quantum theory, is shown to dramatically improve the convergence opening, the way for high precision Monte Carlo simulation to determine the CFT data: operator dimensions, trilinear OPE couplings and the central charge.
The tensor renormalization group attracts great attention as a new numerical method that is free of the sign problem. In addition to this striking feature, it also has an attractive aspect as a coarse-graining of space-time; the computational cost scales logarithmically with the space-time volume. This fact allows us to aggressively approach the thermodynamic limit. While taking this advantage, we study the critical coupling of the two dimensional $phi^{4}$ theory on large and fine lattices. We present the numerical results along with the extrapolation procedure to the continuum limit and compare them with the previous ones by Monte Carlo simulations.
