Effective field theory for dilute Fermi systems at fourth order


Abstract in English

We discuss high-order calculations in perturbative effective field theory for fermions at low energy scales. The Fermi-momentum or $k_{rm F} a_s$ expansion for the ground-state energy of the dilute Fermi gas is calculated to fourth order, both in cutoff regularization and in dimensional regularization. For the case of spin one-half fermions we find from a Bayesian analysis that the expansion is well-converged at this order for ${| k_{rm F} a_s | lesssim 0.5}$. Further, we show that Pad{e}-Borel resummations can improve the convergence for ${| k_{rm F} a_s | lesssim 1}$. Our results provide important constraints for nonperturbative calculations of ultracold atoms and dilute neutron matter.
