Where can I create nice looking graphics for a paper?

For the purposes of what you describe in your question, I think Inkscape would probably be fine (it's quite good for drawing the type of 2D figure which you describe). I have used TikZ before but it c …

Good overviews on $\phi^{4}$-field theory?

In terms of physical motivation of $\phi^4$, if I remember rightly the references in the introduction to this paper might have some pointers. Dashen R and Neuberger H 1983 How to get an Upper Bound o …
