Critical exponents for long-range \(\mathrm O(n)\) models below the upper critical dimension




Abstract: We consider the critical behaviour of long-range O(n) models (nge0) on mathbbZd, with interaction that decays with distance r as r(d+alpha), for alphain(0,2). For nge1, we study the n-component |varphi|4 lattice spin model. For n=0, we study the weakly self-avoiding walk via an exact representation as a supersymmetric spin model. These models have upper critical dimension dc=2alpha. For dimensions d=1,2,3 and small epsilon>0, we choose alpha=frac12(d+epsilon), so that d=dcepsilon is below the upper critical dimension. For small epsilon and weak coupling, to order epsilon we prove existence of and compute the values of the critical exponent gamma for the susceptibility (for nge0) and the critical exponent alphaH for the specific heat (for nge1). For the susceptibility, gamma=1+fracn+2n+8fracepsilonalpha+O(epsilon2), and a similar result is proved for the specific heat. Expansion in epsilon for such long-range models was first carried out in the physics literature in 1972. Our proof adapts and applies a rigorous renormalisation group method developed in previous papers with Bauerschmidt and Brydges for the nearest-neighbour models in the critical dimension d=4, and is based on the construction of a non-Gaussian renormalisation group fixed point. Some aspects of the method simplify below the upper critical dimension, while some require different treatment, and new ideas and techniques with potential future application are introduced.
