Mixed models: combining incompatible scalar models in any space-time dimension

Abstract: Traditionally, covariant scalar field theory models are either super renormalizable, strictly renormalizable, or nonrenormalizable. The goal of `Mixed Models' is to make sense of sums of these distinct examples, e.g., gvarphi34+gvarphi36+gvarphi38, which includes an example of each kind for spacetime dimension n=3. We show how the several interactions such mixed models have may be turned on and off in any order without any difficulties. Analogous results are shown for gvarphin4+gvarphin138, etc., for all nge3. Different categories hold for n=2 such as, e.g., gP(varphi)2+gN!P(varphi)2, that involve polynomial (P) and suitable nonpolynomial (N!P) interactions, etc. Analogous situations for n=1 (time alone) offer simple `toy' examples of how such mixed models may be constructed.
