Exactness of the replica method in perturbation
Abstract
The replica method for a quenched disordered system is considered in a perturbative field theory. Since correction in a finite-order perturbation is given in a polynomial of the replica number $n$, the zero-replica limit $n \to 0$ is regarded as extracting the constant term from the polynomial, which mathematically makes sense. The meaning of the extraction is clarified comparing with a direct calculation.
