| Popis: | The renormalization group method, more specifically the Wegner-Houghton equation, is used to find first order phase transitions in a simple scalar field theory with a polynomial potential. An improved definition of the running parameters allows us to explore the renormalization group flow down to the IR end point and to locate phase transitions. Beyond the expected first order transition further radiative correction generated first and second order transitions are found. The phase diagram is reviewed by a Monte-Carlo simulation of the lattice regulated version of the theory but the serious slow down of the convergence prevents us to obtain conclusive results from the simulation.
