A Convergent Renormalized Strong Coupling Perturbation Expansion

چکیده
The Rayleigh-Schrr odinger perturbation series for the energy eigenvalue of an anharmonic oscillator deened by the Hamiltonian ^ H (m) () = ^ p 2 + ^ x 2 + ^ x 2m with m = 2; 3; 4;. .. diverges quite strongly for every 6 = 0 and has to summed to produce numerically useful results. However, a divergent weak coupling expansion of that kind cannot be summed eeectively if the coupling constant is large. A renormalized strong coupling expansion for the ground state energy of the quartic, sextic, and octic anharmonic oscillator is constructed on the basis of a renormalization scheme introduced by F. Vinette and J. which is a power series in a new eeective coupling constant with a bounded domain, permits a convenient computation of the ground state energy in the troublesome strong coupling regime. It can be proven rigorously that the new expansion converges if the coupling constant is suuciently large. Moreover, there is strong evidence that it converges for all physically relevant 2 0; 1). The coeecients of the new expansion are deened by divergent series which can be summed eeciently with the help of a sequence transformation which uses explicit remainder estimates E.

متن کاملConvergent Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation expansions for low-lying eigenstates and eigenenergies of anharmonic oscillators in intermediate basis states
With suitably chosen unperturbed Hamiltonians, we show numerical evidence of convergence of Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation expansions for low-lying eigenstates and the corresponding eigenenergies of the quartic, sextic, and octic anharmonic oscillators, when the anharmonic terms are not very strong. In obtaining the perturbation expansions, unperturbed Hamiltonians are taken as the diagonal ...
متن کاملAnalytic continuation and perturbative expansions in QCD
Starting from the divergence pattern of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, we propose a novel, non-power series replacing the standard expansion in powers of the renormalized coupling constant a. The coefficients of the new expansion are calculable at each finite order from the Feynman diagrams, while the expansion functions, denoted as Wn(a), are defined by analytic continuation in the Borel...
متن کاملThe Strong-Coupling Expansion and the Ultra-local Approximation in Field Theory
We discuss the strong-coupling expansion in Euclidean field theory. In a formal representation for the Schwinger functional, we treat the off-diagonal terms of the Gaussian factor as a perturbation about the remaining terms of the functional integral. In this way, we develop a perturbative expansion around the ultra-local model, where fields defined at different points of Euclidean space are de...
متن کاملOn the Renormalization of the Kardar-parisi-zhang Equation
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation of nonlinear stochastic growth in d dimensions is studied using the mapping onto a system of directed polymers in a quenched random medium. The polymer problem is renormalized exactly in a minimally subtracted perturbation expansion about d = 2. For the KPZ roughening transition in dimensions d > 2, this renormalization group yields the dynamic exponent z⋆...
