  • resummation of the divergent Perturbation Series for a hydrogen atom in an electric field
    Physical Review A, 2001
    Co-Authors: Ulrich D Jentschura
    Abstract:

    We consider the resummation of the Perturbation Series describing the energy displacement of a hydrogenic bound state in an electric field (known as the Stark effect or the LoSurdo-Stark effect), which constitutes a divergent formal power Series in the electric-field strength. The Perturbation Series exhibits a rich singularity structure in the Borel plane. Resummation methods are presented that appear to lead to consistent results even in problematic cases where isolated singularities or branch cuts are present on the positive and negative real axis in the Borel plane. Two resummation prescriptions are compared: (i) a variant of the Borel-Pad\'e resummation method, with an additional improvement due to utilization of the leading renormalon poles, and (ii) a contour-improved combination of the Borel method with an analytic continuation by conformal mapping, and Pad\'e approximations in the conformal variable. The singularity structure in the case of the LoSurdo-Stark effect in the complex Borel plane is shown to be similar to (divergent) perturbative expansions in quantum chromodynamics.

  • resummation of qed Perturbation Series by sequence transformations and the prediction of perturbative coefficients
    Physical Review Letters, 2000
    Co-Authors: Ulrich D Jentschura, Jens Becher, Ernst Joachim Weniger, G Soff
    Abstract:

    We propose a method for the resummation of divergent perturbative expansions in quantum electrodynamics and related field theories. The method is based on a nonlinear sequence transformation and uses as input data only the numerical values of a finite number of perturbative coefficients. The results obtained in this way are for alternating Series superior to those obtained using Pade approximants. The nonlinear sequence transformation fulfills an accuracy-through-order relation and can be used to predict perturbative coefficients. In many cases, these predictions are closer to available analytic results than predictions obtained using the Pade method.
