Since the sign of the second term is reversed, this result does not seem
to make much sense, even if we consider that the that appears
there is a bare parameter, a parameter characterizing a continuum-limit
flow, in fact, and not the renormalized coupling constant.
Observe however that this is not necessarily a free theory, even at the
Gaussian point, where one would expect that . This is so
because in
we have
, and therefore we may
have
even if
as we take the limit
and make
. In other words, in
we may have interacting limits
of this type sitting right on top of the Gaussian point.
The complete failure of the approximation away from the Gaussian point
suggests that in that case the distribution of the model may not be
sufficiently close to a Gaussian distribution to allow a Gaussian
approximation to work, and hence its expectations values cannot be well
represented by the Gaussian measure of
.
