Abstract

The ratios R2kR_{2k} of renormalized coupling constants g2kg_{2k} that enter the effective potential and small-field equation of state acquire the universal values at criticality. They are calculated for the three-dimensional scalar λϕ4\lambda\phi^4 field theory (3D Ising model) within the pseudo-ϵ\epsilon expansion approach. Pseudo-ϵ\epsilon expansions for the critical values of g6g_6, g8g_8, g10g_{10}, R6=g6/g42R_6 = g_6/g_4^2, R8=g8/g43R_8 = g_8/g_4^3 and R10=g10/g44R_{10} = g_{10}/g_4^4 originating from the five-loop renormalization group (RG) series are derived. Pseudo-ϵ\epsilon expansions for the sextic coupling have rapidly diminishing coefficients, so addressing Pad\'e approximants yields proper numerical results. Use of Pad\'e--Borel--Leroy and conformal mapping resummation techniques further improves the accuracy leading to the values R6=1.6488R_6^* = 1.6488 and R6=1.6490R_6^* = 1.6490 which are in a brilliant agreement with the result of advanced lattice calculations. For the octic coupling the numerical structure of the pseudo-ϵ\epsilon expansions is less favorable. Nevertheless, the conform-Borel resummation gives R8=0.868R_8^* = 0.868, the number being close to the lattice estimate R8=0.871R_8^* = 0.871 and compatible with the result of 3D RG analysis R8=0.857R_8^* = 0.857. Pseudo-ϵ\epsilon expansions for R10R_{10}^* and g10g_{10}^* are also found to have much smaller coefficients than those of the original RG series. They remain, however, fast growing and big enough to prevent obtaining fair numerical estimates.
