Critical exponents for long-range \(\mathrm O(n)\) models below the upper critical dimension (Q1709810): Difference between revisions

The existence of two critical exponents for long-range \(\mathrm O(n)\) models below the upper critical dimension is studied. The author deals with the critical behaviour of long-range \(\mathrm O(n)\) models \((n\geq 0)\) on \(\mathbb Z^d\), with interaction that decays with distance \(r\) as \(r^{-(d+\alpha)}\), for \(\alpha\in(0, 2)\). The author applies a rigorous renormalisation group method based on a finite-range decomposition of the resolvent of the fractional Laplacian to the long-range \(O(n)\) model on \(\mathbb{Z}^{d}\), for \(d = 1, 2, 3\). To order \(\epsilon\), the author proves the existence and computes the values of the critical exponent \(\gamma\) for the susceptibility (for all \(n\geq 0\)) and the critical exponent \(\alpha_H\) for the specific heat (for all \(n\geq 1\)). The author shows that the case \(n = 0\) is treated exactly as a supersymmetric version of the \(|\varphi|^4\) model, with most of the analysis carried out simultaneously and in a unified manner for the spin model \((n\geq 1)\) and the weakly self-avoiding walk model \((n = 0)\). The dynamical system arising from the renormalisation group is analyzed. The author proves the theorems by means of several components, some of which are closely related to components used to analyze the nearest-neighbour model in dimension 4. The perturbative flow equations are studied. Also, the author deals with the nonperturbative analysis, and provides a solution to the large field problem. To control one step of the renormalisation group map, the author gives some conditions.
