Improvement of the method of diagonal Padé approximants for perturbative series in gauge theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently it has been pointed out that diagonal Padé approximants to truncated perturbative series in gauge theories have the remarkable property of being independent of the choice of the renormalization scale as long as the gauge coupling parameter α(p2) is taken to evolve according to the one-loop renormalization group equation – i.e., in the large-β0 approximation. In this letter we propose and describe an improvement to the method of diagonal Padé approximants. The improved method results in approximants which are independent of the chosen renormalization scale when α(p2) evolves at any chosen (in principle arbitrary) loop-level.

Towards a physical expansion in perturbative gauge theories by using improved Baker-Gammel approximants
Applicability of the previously introduced method of modified diagonal Baker-Gammel approximants is extended to truncated perturbation series (TPS) of any order in gauge theories. The approximants reproduce the TPS when expanded in power series of the gauge coupling parameter to the order of that TPS. The approximants have the favorable property of being exactly invariant under the change of th...
متن کاملPerturbative Finite-Temperature Results and Padé Approximants
Padé approximants are used to improve the convergence behavior of perturbative results in massless scalar and gauge field theories at finite temperature. In recent years, computational methods have been developed to analytically tackle three-loop vacuum diagrams and higher-order contributions of diagrams with less loops in massless field theories at finite temperature [1]-[5]. Consequently, the...
متن کاملWhy Padé Approximants reduce the Renormalization-Scale dependence in QFT?
We prove that in the limit where the β function is dominated by the 1-loop contribution (“large β0 limit”) diagonal Padé Approximants (PA’s) of perturbative series become exactly renormalization scale (RS) independent. This symmetry suggest that diagonal PA’s are resumming correctly contributions from higher order diagrams that are responsible for the renormalization of the coupling-constant. N...
متن کاملConvergence of Diagonal Padé Approximants for a Class of Definitizable Functions
Convergence of diagonal Padé approximants is studied for a class of functions which admit the integral representation F(λ) = r1(λ) R 1 −1 tdσ(t) t−λ + r2(λ), where σ is a finite nonnegative measure on [−1, 1], r1, r2 are real rational functions bounded at ∞, and r1 is nonnegative for real λ. Sufficient conditions for the convergence of a subsequence of diagonal Padé approximants of F on R \ [−1...
متن کاملPadé Approximants, Optimal Renormalization Scales, and Momentum Flow in Feynman Diagrams
We show that the Padé Approximant (PA) approach for resummation of perturbative series in QCD provides a systematic method for approximating the flow of momentum in Feynman diagrams. In the large-β0 limit, diagonal PA’s generalize the Brodsky-LepageMackenzie (BLM) scale-setting method to higher orders in a renormalization scaleand scheme-invariant manner, using multiple scales that represent Ne...
