Abstract

We prove the existence and give a construction procedure of Euclidean-invariant exact solutions to the Wetterich equation [Phys. Lett. B 301, 90 (1993)] in $d>2$ dimensions satisfying the naive boundary condition of a massive and interacting real scalar ${\ensuremath{\phi}}^{4}$ theory in the ultraviolet limit as well as a generalized free theory in the infrared limit. The construction produces the momentum-dependent correlation functions to all orders through an iterative scheme, based on a self-consistent ansatz for the four-point function. The resulting correlators are bounded at all regulator scales, and we determine explicit bounds capturing the asymptotics in the UV and IR limits. Furthermore, the given construction principle may be extended to other systems and might become useful in the study of general properties of exact solutions.
