We investigate the U=∞ Hubbard model. Using a Grassmann-integral representation, we transform this model to a Grassmann field theory with two degrees of freedom per site and with a local quartic interaction. An external inhomogeneous field is introduced so that the linked-cluster expansion be applicable. All 1-loop contributions from this expansion are summed up and an exact expression for the inhomogeneous grandcanonical potential dependent on the auxiliary external field in d=∞ is found.

We calculate the perturbative correction to every cluster coefficient of a gas of anyons through second order in the anyon coupling constant, as described by Chern-Simons field theory.

A method of summing diagrams in quantum field theory beyond the variational Gaussian approximation is proposed using the continuum form of the recently developed plaquette expansion. In the context of >-<j} theory the Hamiltonian, H[�], of the Schrodinger functional equation H[�]\II[�] = E\II[�] can be written down in tri-diagonal form as a cluster expansion in terms of connected moment coefficients derived from Hamiltonian moments (Hn) == !V�VI[�]Hn[�JVd�] with respect to a trial state VI [�]. The usual variational procedure corresponds to minimising the zeroth order of this cluster expansion. At first order in the expansion, the Hamiltonian in this form can be diagonalised analytically. The subsequent expression for the vacuum energy E contains Hamiltonian moments up to fourth order and hence is a summation over multi-loop diagrams, laying the foundation for the calculation of the effective potential beyond the Gaussian approximation.
