Jul 8, 2020 at 18:57 comment added Abdelmalek Abdesselam To take (1) seriously, or what Carlo probably means by starting with a Hamiltonian and a measure with density $e^{-H}$ you need to replace $\mathbb{R}^d$ by a finite set. So you need a lattice with spacing $1/N$ but then the infinite volume lattice must be replaced by a finite box with $L^d$ sites. So you then have two limits to do $L\rightarrow\infty$ with fixed $N$ (the lattice thermodynamic limit of my previous answer), and then the continuum limit already in infinite volume, i.e., $N\rightarrow\infty$ which is what I explained in this answer.
Jul 8, 2020 at 18:55 comment added JustWannaKnow I mean, once you worked out the details and defined an infinite volume measure from the discretized version of the model, you get that the measure on $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^{d})$ defined by $(-\Delta+m^{2})$ is the 'appropriate' infinite volume measure, but then these measures can only be 'interpreted' a posteriori.
Jul 8, 2020 at 18:53 comment added JustWannaKnow (...) once you induced these infinite volume measures from the discretized model. Is it true, indeed?
Jul 8, 2020 at 18:53 comment added JustWannaKnow Just a quick question: as I said, I will work the details later but as far as I understood it by reading it quickly, you proceed by taking limits to construct the infinite volume measures. This is something that confuses me a lot: if I want to work directly on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. I know I can define (by Minlos-Bochner) the Gaussian measure on $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^{d})$ with covariance $(-\Delta+m^{2})$, but it is not clear to me that this has to do with my "measure" (\ref{1}) in the first place. My point is: as far as I know, these connections are only possible once you induced (cont)

Jul 8, 2020 at 18:49 comment added Abdelmalek Abdesselam Thanks. I don't think accepting the answer does anything with the bounty.
Jul 8, 2020 at 18:47 comment added JustWannaKnow Thanks again for the answer! I'm in a hurry, so I can't work out the details right now, but as usual this is an exellent/very detailed answer so I already accepted it because the bounty was going to expire in a few hours.
