We extend previous work on applying the ϵ expansion to universal properties of a cold, dilute Fermi gas in the unitary regime of infinite scattering length. We compute the ratio ξ=μϵF of chemical potential to ideal gas Fermi energy to next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) in ϵ=4−d, where d is the number of spatial dimensions. We also explore the nature of corrections from the order after NNLO.
