Abstract: In this paper, we study

l a m b d a p h i^{4}

scalar field theory defined on the unramified extension of p-adic numbers

{m a t h b b Q}_{p^{n}}

. For different ``space-time dimensions $n$ , we compute one-loop quantum corrections to the effective potential. Surprisingly, despite the unusual properties of non-Archimedean geometry, the Coleman-Weinberg potential of p-adic field theory has a structure very similar to that of its real cousin. We also study two formal limits of the effective potential, $p i g h t a r r o w 1$ and $p i g h t a r r o w i n f t y$ . We show that the $p i g h t a r r o w 1$ limit allows to reconstruct the canonical result for real field theory from the p-adic effective potential and provide an explanation of this fact. On the other hand, in the $p i g h t a r r o w i n f t y$ limit, the theory exhibits very peculiar behavior with emerging logarithmic terms in the effective potential, which has no analog in real theories.
