Abstract

Highly accurate experimental results obtained from space experiments near the lambda transition of $^4$He 1 constitute a challenge to analytical renormalization-group (RG) calculations. Theoretical RG predictions with comparatively large error bars have been obtained from previous Borel summations 2. We perform improved Borel summations for the critical exponents $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ of the $d=3, n=2$ universality class on the basis of seven-loop perturbation series of the $\phi^4$ field theory 3 with an $n$ component order parameter in $d$ dimensions. A new extremum criterion is introduced that significantly reduces the error bars compared to the earlier Borel summations 2. Our result for $\alpha=-0.0100.002$ is close to the experimental result $\alpha_exp=-0.0127\pm0.0003$ 1 but disagrees with numerical data for XY type lattice models 4. Furthermore, Borel resummed results on the basis of four-loop perturbation series 5 are presented for the universal amplitude ratios $P=(1-A^+/A^-)/\alpha$ related to the specific heat and for $R_\xi^T$ related to the superfluid density. While our result for $R_\xi^T$ is in good agreement with experiments 6 our result for $P=4.433 0.077$ disagrees with both experimental 1 and numerical results 7. Further theoretical and experimental investigations are required to resolve these discrepancies. 1) J.A. Lipa et al., Phys. Rev. B 68, 174518 (2003) \newline 2) R. Guida, J. Zinn-Justin, J. Phys.
