The present article is the continuation of the earlier work, which used the world sheet representation and the mean field approximation to sum planar graphs in massless phi^3 field theory. We improve on the previous work in two respects: A prefactor in the world sheet propagator that had been neglected is now taken into account. In addition, we introduce a non-zero bare mass for the field phi. Working with a theory with cutoff, and using the mean field approximation, we find that, depending on the range of values of the mass and coupling constant, the model has two phases: A string forming phase and a perturbative field theory phase. We also find the generation of a new degree of freedom, which was not in the model originally. The new degree of freedom can be thought of as the string slope, which is now promoted into a fluctuating dynamical variable. Finally, we show that the introduction of the bare mass makes it possible to renormalize the model.
