Abstract: A stochastic process with self-interaction as a model of quantum field theory is studied. We consider an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic process x(t) with interaction of the form x^{(alpha)}(t)^4, where $alpha$ indicates the fractional derivative. Using Bogoliubov's R-operation we investigate ultraviolet divergencies for the various parameters $alpha$. Ultraviolet properties of this one-dimensional model in the case $alpha=3/4$ are similar to those in the $ph{i}_4^4$ theory but there are extra counterterms. It is shown that the model is two-loops renormalizable. For $5/8leqalpha<3/4$ the model has a finite number of divergent Feynman diagrams. In the case $alpha=2/3$ the model is similar to the $ph{i}_3^4$ theory. If $0leqalpha<5/8$ then the model does not have ultraviolet divergencies at all. Finally if $alpha>3/4$ then the model is nonrenormalizable. This model can be used for a non-perturbative study of ultraviolet divergencies in quantum field theory and also in theory of phase transitions.
