Summary
16/16
1. Systematic expansions over e=4-d or d-2
• Unitary Fermi gas around d=4 becomes
weakly-interacting system of fermions & bosons
• Weakly-interacting system of fermions around d=2
2. LO+NLO results on x, D, e0, Tc
• NLO corrections around d=4 are small
• Extrapolations to d=3 agree with recent MC data
Picture of weakly-interacting fermionic &
bosonic quasiparticles for unitary Fermi gas
may be a good starting point even in d=3
3. Future problems
• Large order behavior + NN…LO corrections
More understanding
