Abstract

Recent applications of the coupled-cluster method to the (φ4)2 quantum field theory showed the necessity of a detailed analysis of its convergence behavior. The anharmonic oscillator has always served as a good test case for different approximation schemes. We treat the model both in the maximum-overlap condition and in the Hartree approximation. The ground-state energy is reproduced very well for all values of the coupling strength and already for a low-order truncation scheme. The expansion in correlation amplitudes can be carried out in extremely high order and shows a divergent tendency of the amplitudes. Introducing temperature dependence allows us to select the stable ground state out of a variety of solutions of the hierarchy of equations.
