Abstract

In this talk we review the progress we have made in determining the renormalized strong coupling expansion in quantum field theory. We restrict ourselves here to λϕ4 field theory in d-dimensions. Our starting point is the lattice version of the path integral representation for the Green’s functions.

  18. The double well evaluation of ZO[µ2] of Eq.(4.20) has been used to calculate λ* in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions. At sixth order perturbation theory we obtain λ*=5.56, λ*=10.62, λ*=28.42. These results are consistent with the results obtained by George Baker using a high temperature series.
