Large-D Expansion from Variational Perturbation Theory

arXiv:quant-ph/0504146 · doi:10.1063/1.2116247

Abstract

We derive recursively the perturbation series for the ground-state energy of the D-dimensional anharmonic oscillator and resum it using variational perturbation theory (VPT). From the exponentially fast converging approximants, we extract the coefficients of the large-D expansion to higher orders. The calculation effort is much smaller than in the standard field-theoretic approach based on the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation.
