Abstract:
We propose a method for constructing a perturbation theory with a finite radius of convergence for a rather wide class of quantum field models traditionally used to describe critical and near-critical behavior in problems in statistical physics. For the proposed convergent series, we use an instanton analysis to find the radius of convergence and also indicate a strategy for calculating their coefficients based on the diagrams in the standard (divergent) perturbation theory. We test the approach in the example of the standard stochastic dynamics $\mathrm A$-model and a matrix model of the phase transition in a system of nonrelativistic fermions, where its application allows explaining the previously observed quasiuniversal behavior of the trajectories of a first-order phase transition.
