In the previous section, we have focused on the removal E ϭͩ Nϩ2 gϪ3e2ͪln2ͩ m2 ϪͩNϩ2 gϪ14e2ͪ of divergences, thus fixing the renormalization constants.
Since the three-loop integrals I3aI3j are known to zerothorder in ␧0, we can also determine the finite vacuum energy density of the symmetric phase of the Ginzburg-Landau model. Up to a negative sign, it is given by the sum of thevacuum diagrams. Having in mind the application of ourresult to phase transitions in three dimensions, we give here its ␧ expansion. We must calculate the one-loop diagram up to the order ␧2 and the two-loop diagrams up to the order ␧.
The general form of the L-loop result has an ␧ expansion 4␮␧ lϭ1 ͑4␲͒2 kϭ0 where we have assumed that e2 and g are of order ␧, whichis correct at the fixed point relevant for the neighborhood of the phase transition.
