Abstract: The presence of isotropic Lifshitz points for a O(N)-symmetric scalar theory is investigated with the help of the Functional Renormalization Group. In particular, at the supposed lower critical dimension d=4, evidence for a continuous line of fixed points is found for the O(2) theory, and the observed structure presents clear similarities with the properties observed in the 2-dimensional Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase.

Recommendations

• Isotropic Lifshitz point in the \(O(N)\) theory
• Isotropic Lifshitz critical behavior from the functional renormalization group
• Multicritical points of the \(O(N)\) scalar theory in \(2 < d < 4\) for large \(N\)
• Exact renormalization group equation for the Lifshitz critical point
