Numerical estimates extracted from the $\\tau$-series obtained using Pad\\'e-Borel resummation technique, scaling relations and seven-loop ($\\tau^7$) estimate for the Fisher exponent $\\eta$ are presented including those for exponents $\\alpha$ and $\\nu$ measured in experiments with record accuracy. For the exponent $\\alpha$ the procedure argued to be most reliable gives $\\alpha= -0.0117$. This number is very close to the most accurate experimental values differing appreciably from the results of numerous lattice and field-theoretical calculations. It signals that the pseudo-$\\epsilon$ expansion is a powerful tool robust enough to evaluate critical exponents with very small absolute error. The arguments in favour of such a robustness are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-03-31T06:06:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "critical exponents", "superfluid helium", "pade-borel resummation technique", "small absolute error", "record accuracy" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.physa.2015.10.036", "journal": "Physica A Statistical Mechanics and its Applications", "year": 2016, "month": "Feb", "volume": 444, "pages": 177 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1281838, "adsabs": "2016PhyA..444..177S" } } }
