Klauder J. R. Poisson Distributions for $\varphi^4$ (21K, TeX) ABSTRACT. In an attempt to avoid triviality for relativistic quantum $\varphi^4_n$ theories for space-time dimensions $n\geq 5$, and possibly $n=4$ as well, an additional, nonclassical, nonpolynomial, local potential is included, along with standard factors, in a lattice-regularized formulation of the model. It is argued that if the additional term redistributes the field probability in the manner characteristic of a generalized Poisson distribution, then a nontrivial quantization may be achieved, one which also passes to the correct nontrivial classical theory in the appropriate limit.
