• Abstract summary: The sequence of equations is underdetermined because if the infinite sequence of equations is truncated to a finite sequence, there are always more Green's functions than equations. An approach to this problem is to close the finite system by setting the highest Green's function(s)$ to zero. In all cases the sequences of roots converge to limits that differ by a few percent from the exact answers.

• Abstract: The Dyson-Schwinger (DS) equations for a quantum field theory in $D$-dimensional space-time are an infinite sequence of coupled integro-differential equations that are satisfied exactly by the Green's functions of the field theory. This sequence of equations is underdetermined because if the infinite sequence of DS equations is truncated to a finite sequence, there are always more Green's functions than equations. An approach to this problem is to close the finite system by setting the highest Green's function(s) to zero. One can examine the accuracy of this procedure in $D=0$ because in this special case the DS equations are just a sequence of coupled polynomial equations whose roots are the Green's functions. For the closed system one can calculate the roots and compare them with the exact values of the Green's functions. This procedure raises a general mathematical question: When do the roots of a sequence of polynomial approximants to a function converge to the exact roots of that function? Some roots of the polynomial approximants may (i) converge to the exact roots of the function, or (ii) approach the exact roots at first and then veer away, or (iii) converge to limiting values that are unequal to the exact roots. In this study five field-theory models in $D=0$ are examined, Hermitian $\phi^4$ and $\phi^6$ theories and non-Hermitian $i\phi^3$, $-\phi^4$, and $-i \phi^5$ theories. In all cases the sequences of roots converge to limits that differ by a few percent from the exact answers. Sophisticated asymptotic techniques are devised that increase the accuracy to one part in $10^7$. Part of this work appears in abbreviated form in Phys.~Rev.~Lett.~{\bf 130}, 101602 (2023).

  In quantum field theory, the Dyson-Schwinger equations are an infinite set of equations relating $n$-point Green's functions in a self-consistent manner. One of the main problems is that a finite truncation of the infinite system is underdetermined. In this paper, we propose another avenue in light of the null bootstrap.

  The paper examines the effectiveness of the Dyson-Schwinger equations as a calculational tool in quantum field theory. The truncated DS equations give a sequence of approximants that converge slowly to a limiting value. More sophisticated truncation schemes based on mean-field-like approximations do not fix this formidable calculational problem.
