In previous works in this series we focused on Hamiltonian renormalization of free field theories in all spacetime dimensions. In this paper, we address the Hamiltonian renormalization of the self-interacting scalar field in two spacetime dimensions with polynomial potential, called <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <a:mi>P</a:mi> <a:mo stretchy="false">(</a:mo> <a:mi mathvariant="normal">Φ</a:mi> <a:msub> <a:mo stretchy="false">)</a:mo> <a:mn>2</a:mn> </a:msub> </a:math> . We consider only the finite volume case. The <f:math xmlns:f="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> <f:mi>P</f:mi> <f:mo stretchy="false">(</f:mo> <f:mi mathvariant="normal">Φ</f:mi> <f:msub> <f:mo stretchy="false">)</f:mo> <f:mn>2</f:mn> </f:msub> </f:math> theory is one of the few interacting quantum field theories that can be rigorously constructed nonperturbatively. We find that our Hamiltonian renormalization flow finds this theory indeed as a fixed point.
