Abstract
In recent papers it has been observed that non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, such as those describing and field theories, still possess real positive spectra so long as the weaker condition of symmetry holds. This allows for the possibility of new kinds of quantum field theories that have strange and quite unexpected properties. In this paper a technique based on truncating the Schwinger-Dyson equations is presented for renormalizing and solving such field theories. Using this technique it is argued that a scalar quantum field theory in four-dimensional space-time is renormalizable, is asymptotically free, has a nonzero value of and has a positive definite spectrum. Such a theory might be useful in describing the Higgs boson.
