Abstract
For dimensions d ≤ 3, the ⌽4 scaling limit defines a nonrenormalizable field theory. The standard relations between critical exponents and renormalization are presented. Arguments supporting the existence of the scaling limit are based on correlation inequalities and the numerical values of Ising model exponents, \( 2\eta _ \ne ^ < \eta _E \) for d=2,3.
