High-Order Corrections to the Lipatov Asymptotics in the \phi^4 Theory

J.Exp.Theor.Phys.99:234-253,2004; Zh.Eksp.Teor.Fiz.99:268-287,2004 High orders in perturbation theory can be calculated by the Lipatov method. For most field theories, the Lipatov asymptotics has the functional form c a^N \Gamma(N+b) (N is the order of perturbation theory); relative corrections to this asymptotics have the form of a power series in 1/N. The coefficients of high order terms of this series can be calculated using a procedure analogous to the Lipatov approach and are determined by the second instanton in the considered field theory. These coefficients are calculated quantitatively for the n-component \phi^4 theory under the assumption that the second instanton is (i) a combination of two elementary instantons and (ii) a spherically asymmetric localized function. The technique of two-instanton calculations is developed, as well as the method for integrating over rotations of an asymmetric instanton in the coordinate state.
