Resummation in QFT with Meijer G-functions

Understand

We employ a recent resummation method to deal with divergent series, based on the Meijer G-function, which gives access to the non-perturbative regime of any QFT from the first few known coefficients in the perturbative expansion.

• Using this technique, we consider in detail the $\phi^4$ model where we estimate the non-perturbative $\beta-$function and prove that its asymptotic behavior correctly reproduces instantonic effects calculated using semiclassical methods.
• After reviewing the emergence of the renormalons in this theory, we also speculate on how one can resum them.
• Finally, we resum the non-perturbative $\beta-$function of abelian and non-abelian gauge-fermion theories and analyze the behavior of these theories as a function of the number of fermion flavors.
