A Hermite-Pad\'e perspective on Gell-Mann--Low renormalization group: an application to the correlation function of Lieb-Liniger gas

Abstract

While Pad\'e approximation is a general method for improving convergence of series expansions, Gell-Mann--Low renormalization group normally relies on the presence of special symmetries. We show that in the single-variable case, the latter becomes an integral Hermite-Pad\'e approximation, needing no special symmetries. It is especially useful for interpolating between expansions for small values of a variable and a scaling law of known exponent for large values. As an example, we extract the scaling-law prefactor for the one-body density matrix of the Lieb-Liniger gas. Using a new result for the 4th-order term in the short-distance expansion, we find a remarkable agreement with known ab initio numerical results.
