Fluctuation Pressure of a Membrane Between Walls Through Six Loops — •Boris Kastening — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 14, D-14195 Berlin

Earlier four- [1] and five-loop [2] calculations of the fluctuation pressure of a fluid membrane between two infinite walls are extended to six loops [3]. Variational perturbation theory is used to extract the hard-wall limit from perturbative results obtained with a smooth potential. Our results confirm that the best available Monte Carlo data underestimate the pressure beyond their reported error bars.
