Abstract

In the course of evaluating the functional integral for the classical partition function for the sine-Gordon model, we found `beyond all orders' low temperature strictly asymptotic expansions for ln Z which are also found to be the iteration of a system of coupled non-linear integral equations. Thus the asymptotic expansions are `summable' to these coupled integral equations
