Acceleration conjecture for asymptotically free QFTs

Let G(Λ,a)G(\Lambda,a) be the formal series for the two-point function of an asymptotically free quantum field theory, where Λ\Lambda is the kinematical parameter. Suppose its β\beta-function satisfies

β(a)=β0+O(a3).\beta(a)=-\beta_0+\mathcal{O}(a^3).

An acceleratrix is the change of variable used in accelero-summation; here it is F(y)=1σΛlog(y)F(y)=\frac{1}{\sigma_\Lambda}\log(y). Acceleration conjecture. For each value of Λ\Lambda, there exists a number σΛ12β0\sigma_\Lambda\geq\frac{1}{2\beta_0} such that G(Λ,a)G(\Lambda,a) is accelero-summable with acceleratrix

F(y)=1σΛlog(y).F(y)=\frac{1}{\sigma_\Lambda}\log(y).

This conjecture aims to extend Borel–Écalle resummation to asymptotically free theories and is motivated by the analyticity domain obtained through Écalle acceleration; it remains open in the source.
