Simple Method to Make Asymptotic Series of Feynman Diagrams Converge

We show that, for two nontrivial λφ⁴ problems (the anharmonic oscillator and the Landau-Ginzburg hierarchical model), improved perturbative series can be obtained by cutting off the large field contributions. The modified series converge to values exponentially close to the exact ones. For λ larger than some critical value, the method outperforms Padé’s approximants and Borel summations. The method can also be used for series which are not Borel summable such as the double-well potential series. We show that semiclassical methods can be used to calculate the modified Feynman rules, estimate the error, and optimize the field cutoff.
