I previously took part in two separate threads where I slowly went through various field theories from a rigorous perspective. I would like to restart the discussion. Here are the two previous threads for anybody who would like to take part this time:

Thread 1
The pages from 12 on (and especially 15 and 16) are the most relevant.

Also:
Thread 2

So far \phi_{2}^{4} has been constructed. For \phi_{3}^{4} I have built the appropriate Hilbert Space on which the Hamiltonian is a well defined operator (it doesn't produce infinities in loose language) with no ultraviolet cut-off. However I must next show that it is self-adjoint and semi-bounded. After that I will need to remove the volume cut-off.

Welcome back! I am looking forward to learn about the next step of the ladder!

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
