Background field method in the large expansion of scalar QED
Using the background field method, we, in the large approximation,
calculate the beta function of scalar quantum electrodynamics at the first
nontrivial order in by two different ways. In the first way, we get the
result by summing all the graphs contributing directly. In the second way, we
begin with the Borel transform of the related two point Green's function. The
main results are that the beta function is fully determined by a simple
function and can be expressed as an analytic expression with a finite radius of
convergence, and the scheme-dependent renormalized Borel transform of the two
point Green's function suffers from renormalons.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 1 table, to appear in the European Physical
