Abstract: Conventional quantization of covariant scalar field models phin4, for spacetime dimensions nge5 are trivial, and this may also be true for n=4 as well. However, an alternative calO(hbar) counterterm leads to nontrivial results for all nge4, and provides a different quantization for n=2,3 as well. In this article we determine the counterterm that provides these desirable properties as simply and directly as possible. The same counterterm also resolves models such as phinp for all even p, including those where p>2n/(n−2), which are traditionally regarded as nonrenormalizable.
