Abstract

We consider the renormalized or Wick square of the free quantum field, which is well-defined as a Hida distribution. It is known that this is a random variable for space-time dimension d ≤ 3. In this report, by considering the characteristic function, we show that this Wick square is not a random variable in dimension d ≥ 4.
