Why Self-Consistent Diagrammatic Perturbation Theory is `just' Perturbation Theory

Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this short write-up we argue that self-consistent diagrammatic perturbation theory(i.e. Feynman diagrams) for the one-particle Green function is unable to capture some important qualitative features no matter how self-consistently the Green functions are obtained. This write-up is intended to highlight the short-comings of perturbation theory and also tout the advantages of the sea-boson technique(hep-th/9706006).
