Two-loop corrections to large order behavior of φ4 theory

We consider the large order behavior of the perturbative expansion of the scalar φ4 field theory in terms of a perturbative expansion around an instanton solution. We have computed the series of the free energy up to two-loop order in two and three dimension. Topologically there is only an additiona...

description We consider the large order behavior of the perturbative expansion of the scalar φ4 field theory in terms of a perturbative expansion around an instanton solution. We have computed the series of the free energy up to two-loop order in two and three dimension. Topologically there is only an additional Feynman diagram with respect to the previously known one dimensional case, but a careful treatment of renormalization is needed. The propagator and Feynman diagrams were expressed in a form suitable for numerical evaluation. We then obtained explicit expressions summing over O(103) distinct eigenvalues determined numerically with the corresponding eigenfunctions.
