Covariant scalar field quantization, nicknamed , where denotes the power of the interaction term and where is the spatial dimension and 1 adds time. Models such that can be treated by canonical quantization, while models such that are nonrenormalizable, leading to perturbative infinities, or, if treated as a unit, emerge as ‘free theories’. Models such as , e.g., , again using canonical quantization also become ‘free theories’, which must be considered quantum failures. However, there exists a different approach called affine quantization that promotes a different set of classical variables to become the basic quantum operators and it offers different results, such as models for which , which has recently correctly quantized . In the present paper we show, with the aid of a Monte Carlo analysis, that one of the special cases where , specifically the case , can be acceptably quantized using affine quantization.
