Abstract

We discuss high-order calculations in perturbative effective field theory for fermions at low energy scales. The Fermi-momentum or kFask_{\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 kFas0.5{| k_{\rm F} a_s | \lesssim 0.5}. Further, we show that Pad{\'e}-Borel resummations can improve the convergence for kFas1{| k_{\rm F} a_s | \lesssim 1}. Our results provide important constraints for nonperturbative calculations of ultracold atoms and dilute neutron matter.
