The Phi4 theory in 4-epsilon dimensions has two fixed points, which coincide in the limit epsilon->0. One is a Gaussian UV fixed point, and the other a non-trivial IR fixed point. They lead to two different continuum field theories. The commonly adopted IR theory is ``trivial,'' behaves like perturbation theory, and suggests an upper bound on the Higgs boson mass. The UV theory is asymptotically free, and does not impose a bound on the Higgs mass. The UV continuum limit can also be reached in 4 dimensions with momentum or lattice cutoff.
