An intermediate-coupling expansion for hamiltonian lattice gauge theory

An intermediate-coupling expansion for the Hamiltonian formulation of lattice gauge theory without matter fields is developed. The expansion is an alternative to the conventional strong-coupling methods and is applicable to both finite and continuous gauge groups. The set of plaquettes of the lattic...
