We consider the infrared and ultraviolet behaviour of the effective quantum field theory of a single Z{sub 2} symmetric scalar field. In a previous paper we proved to all orders in perturbation theory the renormalizability of massive effective scalar field theory using Wilson`s exact renormalization group equation. Here we show that away from exceptional momenta the massless theory is similarly renormalizable, and we prove detailed bounds on Green`s functions as arbitrary combinations of exceptional Euclidean momenta are approached. As a corollary we also Weinberg`s Theorem for the massive effective theory, n the form of bounds on Green`s functions at Euclidean momenta much greater than the particle mass but below the naturalness scale of theory. 12 refs.
