Abstract

We develop a power series representation and estimates for an effective action of the form logeA(ϕ,ψ)dμr(ϕ)eA(ϕ,0)dμr(ϕ). Here, A(ϕ,ψ) is an analytic function of the real fields ϕ(x),ψ(x) indexed by x in a finite set X, and dμr(ϕ) is the product measure characterised by f(ϕ)dμr(ϕ)=f(ϕ)xXχ(|ϕ(x)|r)dϕ(x). Such effective interactions occur in the small field region for a renormlization group analysis. The customary way to analyse them is a cluster expansion, possibly preceded by a decoupling expansion. Using methods similar to a polymer expansion, we estimate the power series of effective interaction without introducing an artificial decomposition of the underlying space. This technique is illustrated by a model renormalization group flow motivated by the ultraviolet regime in many boson systems.
